Good stuff and probably the most unusual and varied army you could field.....

I am tempted to work on some of these, is there an OOB for the Confederation, my Googlefu skills have failed to locate anything so far?

The Rheinbund units seem to have mostly fought with the army of Catalonia during the Spanish campaigns, although Rouyer's division of three German regiments was reported stationed in the Segovia province at some point in 1810.

I came up with the following orbat after a quick search, although it's somewhat short on specifics :

I also found the following piece on the TWT boards : scroll down to the very bottom of the page for a complete breakdown of the contingents that formed the 4th, 5th and 6th Rheinbund regiments.

Yesterday I have received the uniform plates from Brigade for the regiment. Very impressive and usefull as
recommended by the Perry`s.

It´s really interesting to have 5 different Uniforms + Command in a 6-stand unit.

I was born in Coburg, so it´s nice to have your local soldiers on your shelf/table.
Maybe the Perry´s will design a bunch of Tiroleans as opponents for the Austria campaign 1809

Eureka have a very nice range of Tyroleans, Kobiyashi 1. I find them to be pretty compatible with the Perry sculpts.
