This is the second, and final, Austrian cuirassier regiment. Formed in 1721, it was variously numbered Cavalry Regiment, 14, 12, 14 again, 9, then finally Cuirassier Regiment, Number 5 in 1805. From 1806 through to 1823 it was under the inhabership of Field Marshal Hannibal Marquis Sommariva.
There is just one small unit of chevauxlegere to go in this batch and that will finish the Austrian cavalry for me.
That’s a good solid looking brigade Mark….
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I would like to be on the wrong side of it…
Unless I had the cannon 😁
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly...they certainly look intimidating...but the are Austrian and rarely in our games do they do well 😄
DeleteThey look great Mark - more Austrian cavalry may be on my to do list - I will have to give it some thought!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough Austrian horse!
DeleteAnother lovely looking unit and the brigade looks great together, hope they do the business on the table!
ReplyDeleteIn our last game the Austrian cavalry led the way to a stunning victory...so these guys have a lot to live up to!
DeleteGreat to see some more Austrian cavalry and let's hope they perform well in action:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve...let's hope so.
DeleteYou would think that being led by a field marshal called Hannibal Marquis Sommariva they should do quite well. Lovely work on these Mark.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a mighty impressive name for sure!
DeleteVery nice figures- and the brigade is looking formidable!
ReplyDeleteThanks John...they are Austrians, so let's watch this space...
DeleteSplendid looking Austrian cuirassiers! I've got some more of these primed somewhere, they look great as a brigade too!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
