I'm also looking up the uniform details for 3rd Jyske Regiment (3rd Jutland) and googled up this response. Mid brown it is!

Hi

Thanks for the Info. I'd missed the fact that Bavarians had those pot helmets.

I'm going to launch into WSS using 10mm Old Glory figures and OG have figures (infantry and cavalry) in bonnets. That is what stimulated my enquiry.

Cheers

Neil

Bonnets and Helmets in WSS?

I believe that at least some of the Imperial Cuirassier wore Iron helmets during WSS. I've noted that OG 10mm have some infantry and mounted in bonnets. Were bonnets and iron helmets widespread or limited? I've stupidly gone on holiday without my WSS sources. I knew I'd left something out; money, su...

I've altered my Excel sheet in line with the discussion we have been having. I've included units from the various participants of WSS (at full strength). I didn't worry about reducing the strength of units for the spread sheet because the spread sheet already has a wide range of unit strengths for y...

Thanks for your post Nick. I can see your point that gaps in and around units, which are required for getting around obstructions that are too small to represent on the gaming table, should be built into the space a unit takes up. This will impact on my ground scale. If the increase in the size of u...

Thanks for your post. What were the gaps between infantry and cavalry units used for (and between sub units)? For evolutions of one kind or another? I'd be interested to know how a unit would suffer from a lack of an adequate gap. Going back to your prior post: >7: Yes cavalry in 3 ranks and also Br...

Thanks for taking the time to look at my file and for writing a comprehensive reply. I have books by Sapherson, Schorr, Condray and others giving me ORBATs and unit strengths for most participants but I don't pretend any depth of knowledge on the WSS so I am grateful for the advice of my fellow game...

Please review my WSS unit width calculations

Hi everyone, I'm buying some OG 10mm figures for the Marlburian period. The infantry are on 1 inch wide strips so I'm basing in inches for infantry, cavalry and guns. I want to fool around with some rule mechanisms I've come up with. I'm not basing for any rule set on the market. I decided to try to...
