Army Organisation

Hi chaps, I'm putting together a Dutch army for the League of Augsburg era and am trying to find out whether there are any examples of higher level organisation (ie. above the Regiment). I understand that there were no permanent higher level structures (as per the Napoleonic era) but wondered if the...

Re: Source for WSS French Uniforms

Well done Doug - some very nice units here. I particularly like the flags and the drummers. Fantastic work on the chain lace for the drummers. I'm painting similar units up and have simplified this to a basic red and blue paint scheme. You have really gone to town, picking out the lace to great effe...

Re: Austrian/Bavarian Order of Battle for Mohacs in 1687?

These all seem to be Austrians. Where are the Bavarians? Perhaps a little brusque - a 'thank you' might encourage further research ! ;-) No worries. Some goods news, though. I think I have now found the 'Ober Rhein' Regiment. Robert Hall's book 'The Military of the Upper Rhine Circle' confirms that...

Re: Austrian/Bavarian Order of Battle for Mohacs in 1687?

Assuming Austrians Serini's Regiment? Perhaps this is : "Kaiserlich-Koniglich Infanterie-Regiment Johann Carl Graf Serenyi" (Raised in 1672 and became Infantry Regiment Nr 25) Ober Rhein Regiment? Velden's Regiment? Salmsel's Regiment? Not found yet - someone here is likely to know ! Kaiserstein Re...

Hi Gunter,

These armies are almost becoming a museum exhibit in their own right.
Amazing !

Re: 1672 Dutch regiment - Painted

Wow ! These are superb. Really like the effect on the faces and white areas (sleeves and cravates).

I've painted a few French battalions up using these figures and appreciate how long it can take.

Very, very nice.

This comprises a large Excel spreadsheet with a column for each year from 1546 to 1914 and which includes the origin and changes effecting every Regiment raised during this...
