Grenadier Battalion Berger

With the completion of the Ottomans I am moving to another, much later, Napoleonic subject - 1813-14 Austrian German Grenadiers. I am creating two battalions, using the Victrix grenadier set.

Since all Austrian grenadier battalions are combined battalions, Battalion Berger was built from the companies of the 15th, 28th and 57th infantry regiments. This, of course, means that the facings of the companies differ within the battalion and in Berger's case those colours are madder red, black and purple.

Now my normal line battalions are 36 figures strong, in six stands, but the combined grenadier battalions appear to have been smaller, around 700-750 men so I have done Berger as a four stand unit.  One stand is a command stand of a mounted officer, foot officer, standard bearer and drummer, and then there are three rank and file stands, each of which bears the appropriate company facings. The four figures of the command stand are a mix of facing colours.

The next battalion will be a six stand unit.
