I am sorry, I obviously didn't make myself clear in my first response to this question.  Marlburian IS the WSS!   So ALL these figures would be suitable for it.  The SYW is about half a century later and almost all armies (exception being the French for the start of the war) now have uniforms with lapels, or turn backs, or both. 

Hope this helps,

Ok :D
Thanks Molinary.  That makes it very clear.  I am very familiar with the SYW, I have 28mm Austrians and did a lot of research on the period.  I have, as. I mentioned some very good reference books (Digby Smith) for the history and painting reference.  The term Malburian I had seen and also the Pendraken figures but didn't really understand the period of warfare, post pike and Shotte pre SYW is what I am starting to get an idea of.

Cheers, keep the comments coming.....

Is any one playing Imaginations for WSS or League of Augsburg period?
Using the Ideas in Charge! rules, as there is no difference in troops on the table you can use any army from 1685 up to and including SYW or even AWI.
You are allocated a State and then you plan to defend against your greedy neighbours or Invade the unwary.
The Palatinate has more princes, Dukes and Electors than you can shake a sword at.
the most up to date rules are Sharp Practice covering the start of the black powder era to the ACW.
You can use them in a multi-player game or solo play and there is a role playing add on.

I think I may try League of Augsberg as the army packs are more or less balanced, but do a little research on uniforms to see who had what. the idea is a fun game for me so if I want to use Austrian flags for imperial troops, then why not?
