QuoteI dub thee,  Erbprinz Dragoon regiment of Hessen-Kassel which had a part in the storming of the Schellenberg on 2nd July, 1704.
Yes, yes, yes.  :)

And now, short tutorial, how to get it:

1. Red and white striped lion = Hesse-Kassel (although I must admit that somehow, top, white stripe didn't appear on printed flag)

2. Drummer = dragoons

3. Googling: "hesse kassel" army "spanish succession" gives these results:
http://www.google.pl/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=pl&source=hp&q=%22hesse+kassel%22+army+%22spanish+succession%22&pbx=1&oq=%22hesse+kassel%22+army+%22spanish+succession%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=17121l18006l8l19093l5l5l0l0l0l4l369l1517l0.1.0.4l5l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=44db097b10a64216&biw=1680&bih=889

on the first place, one can find:

There are only two Hessian dragoon regiments listed.
regt. Aurochs looks like this: http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/salmon/224/Hesse/hesse4.html
regt. Erbprinz looks like this: http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/salmon/224/Hesse/hesse5.html

So, the right answer is: Hessian dragoon regiment Erbprinz  :)

Once again, congratulations for Grenadier.
With five points he is firmly in the lead. I hope, he will like the prize  ;)

As it took a bit longer than previously to find the right answer, there is no another quiz today.
I added some text to prevous blog post instead, including the unit description and changes I've made to figures.

 Very nice Maciek! I do, indeed, like the variety you are able to attain, and first rate painting, too.  I have been very unproductive the last few months as well as being distracted by the Napoleonic period.  Well, no more. My heart lies with the early 18th century and so I will focus my attention to it. I've downloaded Musatfa's promising "Maurice Lite" to read over the holiday, now, if I can settle in on figure scale. I do love 10mm but 6mm has great appeal and a certain visual grandeur.
BTW, I gain most of my quiz victories by consulting C.S.Grant's "From Pike to Shot 1685-1720". It's weakness is lack of flags, though and that's where my Hall/Schoor CD's and the web help. I try to let others have a whack at it first but then I MUST have a go. Depending upon how many quizes you hold, maybe someone will catch me? If not I really look forward to those flags. ;)
  To Leon-please, can we have a basic WSS/GNW marching pose for musketeers and grenadiers similar to the Wargames Factory guy? Don't make me wait for Magister's! :'(

Grenadier - do it in 10 mm. Especially if you got so many informations about uniforms.
I also considered 6mm, but the scale difference is dramatic. In 10mm you can recreate uniform of specific units, in 6mm it would be rather "redcoats agains bluecoats" game.
