I'd quite like to do Egypt, but I think it will remain a pipedream until my Peninsular project is finished. <br /><br />That's not to say that I couldn't use my Zvesda Turkish cavalry, John Cunningham sepoys and assorted beturbaned types in Eygpt. So you could say I've already started.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-52364946075060420132011-01-18T11:38:47.204+00:002011-01-18T11:38:47.204+00:00Prussians?

The French Hussars in Egypt were still wearing mirleton when they arrived at least. (and it would give you an excuse to buy some of the gorgeous Turks that are out there now...)<br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-87771672815879831402011-01-17T13:17:27.763+00:002011-01-17T13:17:27.763+00:00Ross, not bad criteria by any manner of means. My ...Ross, not bad criteria by any manner of means. My little bit of reading last night has led me into a new connundrum. I generally conflate regiment and battalion, but it appears the Austrian fielded three battalion regiments, effectively a brigade in old money. I think I shall collect with an eye to variety and only field the Lieb battalion from each regiment. I get more differant facing colours that way. <br /><br />As for the Prussians, they'll find a home somewhere. I just can't bring myself to love HATs 1806 Prussians, they're just ugly...Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-31954841829382260352011-01-17T00:38:23.389+00:002011-01-17T00:38:23.389+00:00Hmm, my criteria for picking Austrian units was:

So a regiment of Walloons for example<br />3) Have I got one with that facing colour?<br /><br />btw, those Prussian Hussars are good in some armies up to about 1800 so don't chuck 'em out! (Buy some infantry in bicornes or casquets since they're cheap!)<br /><br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
