Uniforms and flags for Battle of Unter-Schweingau

Rather than try to load them all into a post, I've put the uniforms and flags into an online gallery viewable at this link: http://www.musterthetroops.com/BattleofUnter-Schweingau/view.html.

Missing: Unter-Schweingau militia
Extra: Van Ackeren Cuirassiers, Asgar's army

The Van Ackeren unit will not be present at the battle, but I threw them into the gallery since I had an image for them.

The two forces combined at this point total 10 brigades, with 17 battalions of infantry, 25 squadrons of cavalry, and 8 guns on the field. Here's the order of battle for the troops, including commander initiative/command radius as rolled by Jeff:

Excellent Uniform and flag details!

I shall explore these and see what units I can come up with.

I do not have any in the 'purple', but do have some in white with purple facings...

I think I can do one force, Asgar, completely and will look into the forces of Arnold (more of a kalidescopic army).

Also with another minis event coming in February (or convention Dak-Kon) I cannot do the battle in snowscape, sorry.

Wow! Great series of very pleasant uniforms and flags. An 2 impressive OOB: quite promising.

Cheers to all involved,
JL

Jeff's Saxe-Bearstein forces may help with part of Arnold's, since about half of them are in red. I knew the purple would be an odd one to match, so feel free to substitute as needed.

Hi, seemingly the link to enlarge the pic of the Grenadiers d'Cive is 'dead'?

Snickering Corpses said...

Hmm, so it is. That's because the apostrophe is killing it. I'll have to make a code tweek to handle that, when I get a chance.

Applies also to Shannon's Irish G; -for that same raison. html is full of traps, seemingly.

BTW, would be Grenadiers de Cive: french uses less the ' than the anglophones think (as I remember, the basic rule is " d' " only before a voyel)

Best,
JL

> BTW, would be Grenadiers de Cive:

I was actually basign it on a person named d'Civeyrac (from a list of French film directors). What would be the appropriate way of dealing with that?

I've fixed the apostrophe issue. They should work now. :)
