I have also made a couple of additions to the infantry with 2 battalions from the Seiffertitz regiment. These were raised from Militia in 1705 and were part of the Auxiliary Corps in Austrian service from 1705 - 1707. They were then broken up in 1707. I chose these as they are not in the usual red coats but grey with red cuffs. Makes them stand out in the army.
The figures for these 2 battalions are from Warrior with the command figures from Dixon. I was unable to locate any flag details for this regiment so have equipped them with the white Colonel colours which I picked up from maverick models.
By my reckoning I now have 27 Saxon infantry battalions, 18 squadrons of Dragoons, 24 squadrons of Cuirassiers and the 9 Squadrons of Household cavalry. I can support these with 3 Ansbach infantry battalions and 3 squadrons of dragoons. When I check against the OOB for Klissow I'm still about 20 squadrons short, particularly Cuirassiers.
Impressive new units, and very impressive army, so many splendid uniforms ready for battles! Great job once again...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. This army has been built over 20 years. Just keep coming back to it
DeleteGreat work Neil. The cuirassiers are very impressive and I love the grey coats of the infantry too.
