The expansion consists of seven battalions:
The Grenadier battalion Welsperg
Regiment Erzherzog Karl Number 3 consisting off two line and one landwehr battalions
Three line battalions of Regiment Marquis Lusignan Number 16
Artillery, one position and two field batteries.
And then the whole force.
That is a very good looking force and a massive expansion. Well done
ReplyDeleteI came close to have the whole army on parade, but the thought of taking the all out of their trays then putting them away again brought reason to my thoughts.
DeleteA fine looking parade Mark…
ReplyDeleteThat’s probably about a year’s painting for me 🤣.
All the best. Aly
Thank you Ally. By the end it felt like a lifetime!
DeleteThat all looks spectacular Mark. That is quite and expansion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. It's a much bigger army now that I ever anticipated. The original plan was seven battalions a hussar regiment and a battery. I now have 18 battalions, five batteries and four cavalry regiments!
DeleteI note that Blogger is playing silly buggers again - this post was put up at 12:34 on Saturday and still hasn't appeared on the blog rolls.
A very nice parade there Mark:)! Sadly this still hasn't shown up in my reading list and only knew you had a new post courtesy of your comment on another Blog (or two). Not a good state of affairs for sure.
ReplyDeleteIts all quite weird...just posted another one...lets see how long it takes to appear.
DeleteA grand parade, indeed! Really quite a stunning display. I completely missed this post and only got a whiff of its presence in your most recent Bavarian artillery post.
ReplyDeleteThank uoh Jonathan. Yes this pist did not dhow at all in the three days sincevut was podted..odd stuff.
DeleteFantastic parade, llive the Austrians. This missed my blog feed, pleased you mentioned it in your latest post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil. Yes I suspect that there is some fault in the blog roll gadget.
DeleteSllendid looking expansion to your Austrian forces, lovely work!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. There are a lot of Austrians on my shelves now!
DeleteThey do look good Mark - I think we have more Austrians between us now than the Hapsburgs ever did!
ReplyDeleteWow! I do love a Nap's parade and these regiments are a great sight! Must feel good to see them all arrayed like that and ready for their first game.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai. My only fear is that if the history of our games continues, the more common view of the Austrian army will be them moving to the rear at speed!
DeleteMore great quality Austrians Mark!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris, but I think I will be staying clear of Austrians for a while.
