Title: 1792-1800 French/Austrian Cav
Post by: tankette on 14 October 2012, 01:57:47 AM
Are there any plans to introduce period cavalry for the 1792-1800 French and Austrians?

Thanks,
Mitch

That's one which wouldn't be getting done any time in the near future, we'd prefer to replace the whole range really.

The French dragoons and carabiniers(old pattern uniform) are very similar to the later Napoleonic versions. The French hussars look very much like the seven years war versions in mirlitons. If you can find a hussar figure in a mirliton wearing his dolman - that will do for the chasseurs-à-cheval. It's the Austrians you will have most trouble with, although the Austrian dragoon/chevau-legère uniform didn't change much after 1789.
