Having completed the last of the Ros Prussian units (although I have since found enough figures in a drawer for a further four battalions!) I thought it would be nice to show the fruits of my labours.
So, Sunday morning church parade Berlin 1813. On parade we have 22 infantry battalions, of which three are Jaegers, one Guard, five Landwehr and two Reserve. There are three batteries of artillery and five regiments of cavalry.
The Jaegers and Line Infantry:
The Reserves and Landwehr:
The left wing cavalry, two regiments of Warrior Dragoons:
The right wing cavalry, a regiment of Warrior Hussars:
The cavalry reserve, two regiments of Warrior Cuirassiers:

Very impressive Army Bob - will you ever field them all at once?
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to having a large scale action when I can pit them against the French. Most, if not all will take to the field.
DeleteExcellent looking army, very impressive indeed .
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, it was certainly worth the effort.
DeleteI'll echo previous comments. Wonderful! I dreamed of scenes like this as a schoolboy. Those final four battalions might be interesting to paint as some of the more colorful 'reserve' units that fought in the 1813-1815 campaigns. The Russo-Prussian Legion, which became the 32nd or 33rd Regiment(???) has always seemed like an interesting possibility. Russian uniforms and (unofficial) Prussian infantry standards. In any case, your army here is beautiful.

Some intersting thoughts there Stokes. I was thinking of painting some fusiliers with black equipment, but maybe I could do some more reserve units too.
DeleteSuperb! Just what you want to see on the flank of a French army...
ReplyDeleteBe interesting to see how they perform against the Young Guard!
DeleteThey look great. When will see them in action?
ReplyDeleteHi Ross, yes I hope to see them in action soon. I am planning a refight of Plancenoit, which should turn out to be a bitter struggle.
DeleteVery impressive display!
ReplyDeleteI am rther pleased with them, I just wish I could source some more Ross cavalry though.
DeleteExtraordinary! Well done, Bob.
ReplyDeleteI took a look at your Hinton Hunt Prussians. They are wonderful, much better than my efforts.
