The Freikorps, reminding everyone that Prussian efficiency is not universal! The regimental title, Quintus Icilius, for those who don't know the tale, came about when the king had a disagreement with Charles Guiscard about a certain Roman officer of that name. After they'd consulted the books, and Frederick had been proved wrong, he got his revenge by appointing his friend commander of this unit under the disputed name.

I owe Leon serious thanks for casting all these officer figures for me, so that my cuirassiers could have a more dashing and heroic look to them. Note the vexillium with the guards is not a mistake, though I've exaggerated the size a bit; and they did actually wear polished steel breastplates, unlike most. Von Kleist irregular horse grenadiers and some Bosniak lancers in support.

Great progress, FK.  :-bd   (it took me nearly two years to paint two reasonably sized armies!). At this rate, will we some action before Christmas?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Austrian army now the stronger for the Emmanuel von Starhemberg foot and the O'Donell (really!) cuirassiers.

Why the 'really' FK, plenty of Irish serving with the Austrians, FM Browne springs to mind.

I know that, you know that, but I'll bet there are many who don't know that.
