Plans for Lobositz

As mentioned yesterday, I am doing little bits, slowly moving forward. For instance last night I started basing my Panzerjager Abteilung for my Cavalry Division as well as starting to paint my Prussian Army in 6mm.

This is more of a project moving forward and I've got a scenario both for Volley and Bayonet and Honours of War for the Battle of Lobositz - the first major battle of the Seven Years War. So as such I'm going to base my Infantry up by Regiment to match the Regiments that were there - I know most of the time I won't be able to match it up perfectly but I wanted some variation between units. In 6mm this is quite basic but I reckon I can detail lapels, collars, cuffs and turnbacks. As such I have used Kronoskaf to work out what regiments had what - I also have a set of the colours from Baccus to distinguish further.

Regiment	Lapel	Collar	Cuff	Turnback
3	None	Red	Red	Red
5	Cream	Cream	Cream	Red
7	Pink	Pink	Pink	Red
9	Red	Red	Red	Red
13	White	White	White	Red
17	White	White	White	Red
20	Red	Red	Red	Red
21	None	Red	Red	Red
27	Red	Red	Red	Red
30	None	None	Red	Red
36	None	White	White	Red

In total for the Prussians I will need the following (with what I have the models for in brackets):

• 11 Infantry Regiments (12)
• 2 Grenadier Regiments (4)
• 1 Hussar Regiments (3)
• 4 Dragoon Regiments (3)
• 9 Kurassiers (6)
• 4 Artillery (6)

So there are a few bits I need (and obviously an OPFOR) but its a strong start.
