Indeed!  :o
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

My first Austrian infantry Brigade is done.  I took the opportunity to do the Würzburg contingent because David from Not by Appointment does the flags.  That apart the Würzburg lads were good troops.

Very nice!  Yeah, I need to crack on and do my Blue Wurzburgers.  I did the Mainz 'Lamberg' Regt recently though, which was another good Imperial auxiliary regiment, with a very similar uniform.

Cheers Mark.  I'm onto the second Austrian infantry brigade now.  Then it's back to the dragoons for both sides.

Of course, if Prussian hussars have a flag, it needs to be a captured French one.

My second Austrian infantry brigade is now done.  Two German and on Hungarian battalions.  For the Germans I went for regiments Botta and Baden-Durlach and Forgach for the Hungarians.

Very nice work, the Hungarians always add a bit of colour to the Austrian army.  Your project is moving along very nicely. :)
