18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR 5 Braunschweig 1st BTN

 Another battalion done with fab flags from Dave Morfitt. There seems to be some dispute on Kronoskaf about the facing colour, either white or buff. I'm in the later camp as this regiment's inhaber was Ferdinand of Brunswick who is always portrayed in regimentals with buff facings.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR 24 Schwerin Musketeers 2nd BTN

 Another battalion done with lovely flags from Dave Morfitt. I'm getting in the swing of these

large battalions and enjoying this project very much – accordingly, all other projects are pushed to the back!

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Austrians: Sachsen-Gotha Dragoons

 Twenty eight figures (four squadrons of seven) of this very hard fighting Dragoon regiment.

Technically I should field six squadrons and a company of horse grenadiers but I think it's large enough as it is although I might field some of the latter.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR6 Grenadier Garde (Semper Talis)

 

Another large battalion to add to this growing army. I don't normally add guard battalions to my armies as they are not very representative but I had the figures available so thought 'why not' as this regiment had such an impressive history, not to mention a pretty uniform.

Flags from Dave Morfitt's lovely website Not by Appointment and figures are from Old Glory.

18mm Old Glory: WAS Austrians: IR Deutschmeister 2nd BTN

 Another battalion of Old Glory's SYW Austrian range. The lovely flags are from Dave Morfitt's range of Charles VI flags which are suitable for the WAS and early SYW. They are much more interesting than the common 'yellow' in use by the end of the SYW. Plus the infantry form up in 4 ranks, which means, if you want, that you can base them differently, as I both like and do.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: 1/23 Bandemer Converged Grenadiers

 These are converged grenadiers of IR1 and IR23, both with silver-faced mitres, and they featured in most of the major SYW battles. The officer of IR23 is wearing a mitre which is incorrect (officers always wore a tricorne) but lets assume he lost his headwear from the hot gust of a cannonball, and had to make do with the first thing he could find. Interestingly, officers in Hanoverian service could wear the mitre.

Four 'big' battalions for the Prussians are finished.

18mm Eureka: WAS Anhalt-Zerbst Austrian Cuirassiers

 Four squadrons of Anhalt-Zerbst Cuirassier regiment, each squadron is 7 figures so 28 in total. Figures are Eureka.
