I´m intending to buy some of these books also, so if you want, I can order your copies too and send them to you.

Just a little help from a friend .....

@Graf Bretlach

where are you from ?

The Austrians didnt participate in the battle, but the Spanish Army of the Duchy of Milan and their German regiments (Württemberg for instance).

Boeri/Mirecki/Palau and others think the complete state troops of Milan to be present at Staffarda.

Thanks.

The OOB for the Savoyan army plus Austrians will be a slight problem.

There seems to exist none.

I tried to find out all the participating regiments by searching the regimental histories, but it´s not finished until now.

could you supply the French OOB ?

Hi Nick

your Statement

as well as some regiments from Savoy

interests me, as I already have some Savoy regiments, but all of them are Front Rank.

How do they - in Terms of size etc - compete with Ebor ?

Since the dropbox seems to be unstable, here´s another one:




just klick on the one above (right mouse-button + show pics), maybe it helps

Dear Sergio, I think you ARE picky, or you didn't NOTICE the second source I quoted, which relates to the later period, and also relates to the same pictures. So Dan Schorr has for certain quoted the Danes using the same colour in later years too. Nobody is perfect, and I'm always trying to help, bu...

In the battle of Turin, the ..... Savoyards Dragons were used as Cavalry

Also in the battle of Staffarda 1690: "a me miei dragoni"

I think the Savoyard Dragoons were especially apt (or trained) to charge on horseback, which most of the armies' dragoons were not, or not ment to.

Nice, they fit very well.

I would be interested in comparison photos with Front Rank, which I use (exclusively until now).

We all have the same interest: finding the most exact representation of historical correct uniforms and flags - and painting our miniature armies that way. All these discussions are very inspiring (for me) for delving further into the subject, for finding more and more special sources, and revealing...
