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

Some pics of the von Zieten and von Puttkamer hussars are now on my blog.  The second squadron of von Puttkamer’s and the first for the von Zieten.

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. :)
