The Befrieungskrieg is also my Napoleonic period with the Prussians (especially the III Armeekorps) being my main force.  Your units look very good!

Yep, they came out very well. 

We need to see MORE!

Hi,
Thats pretty impressive, and a very ambitious goal with 19x32 man battalions. I also do Prussians for 1813, but I am aiming for about 10x32 man battalions (5 done so far). I also have a few Russians to team them up with. I like the campaign look you have given the troops, its suits the setting and figures really well.

Thank you all. Yes, it is a pretty ambitious project, competing with AWI, ACW, 7YW and WW2 for painting time. Wish I could focus more!!

I too am a fan of the Prussian army 1808-15, and have he figures set aside to do up an army, just need to finish a few projects that are in the works before I can start on them.

One thing I can determine - does your East Prussian Regiment have orange facings or red facings? They look red on my PC. Summerfield in his book "The Prussian Army 1808-40", page 77 bottom describes the East prussian Regiments as having Brick Red facings and he describes this as a dark orange. I see it along the lines of a burnt orange, or maybe Vallejo German orange. But he shows it as a definitely an orange color. Not trying to find fult, just something I noticed, so please take no offense.

This article shows East prussian Infantry in the first image which may be helpful.
