To try to bulk up the Prussians I decided to make a unit in greatcoats using the CW Russian Infantryman with a Prussian head it sort of worked but I wasn't that happy.
So I have been playing around with the Russian Line infantryman and trimming the peak from his cap to make a Prussian infantryman in a field cap.
What have I concluded from this Parade? Firstly, that I have no Allied Artillery and not much Prussian either and secondly I could probably do with some more Allied infantry as well.
The force stands at 12 Infantry Regiments:
6 Prussian Infantry Regiments
1 Regiment of Jagers/Silesian Riflemen
5 Allied Regiments
8 Units of Cavalry
6 Prussian
2 Allied
4 guns
A total of 212 infantry and 48 cavalry.
With the exception of the Waldeck and Lippe infantry the Allied forces are all conversions and home castings.
And what a magnificent parade it is, ABC!
ReplyDeleteHave you considered Hanoverians?
Hi thanks for posting. Yes I made up a conversion for a Hanoverian with the plume oh the shako but he reminded me of a Brunswicker from the Nap War then I tried a figure with a shako. The pictures look a bit like the Prince Albert shako and he looked like a British Crimea figure in black. Will post a picture of the one I have done. The Austrians and their allies are up next!
DeleteGetting confused. It was a Brunswicker not a Hanoverian that I made!!!!
DeleteLovely toys sir...
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite periods...
All the best. Aly
Hi Aly
DeleteIt is an amazing period in terms of the variety of nations/states/duchies all with their own little forces. Having a problem deciding when to stop! Glad you liked them.
Wonderful and impressive battlelines!
ReplyDeleteThe Austrians and their allies also had a parade and their pictures are up next! Hope you enjoy them as much.
