My 28mm Army for Max Emanuel period Part 2

Next up is Infantry Regiment Tattenbach, in 2 battalions with mid blue coat and yellow facings, with drummers in reverse (grenadiers also done in reverse as per previous pictures).





Then Infantry Regiment Maffei, again in 2 battalions with yellow facings.



And lastly the Infantry Regiment Mercy, in 3 battalions with mid blue coats and red facings.  Their grenadiers were also in reversed colors as shown previously.



This completes the infantry units so far.  The excess amount of small stones shows my attempt to break up the flocking material so this is clearly before the day when large stick-on flower and fauna pieces became the vogue.  Maybe I will go back and remove some of the rocks and add further dressage to the bases but first we need to game with them more frequently...

Thanks to Robert Hall for the flag designs from his very informative booklet series.

The Bavarian army occupied the more northerly part of the battlefield at Blenheim and was deployed roughly as shown in this diagram from the Obscure Battles web site:


Next post will cover the cavalry who are shown holding the center.
