The Bavarian contingent to the Turkenkreig was cavalry heavy and even through Blenheim the Kuirassier Regiments were large, in the Austrian fashion so 4 to 6 squadrons to each. I limited myself to 4 squadrons but typically brigade the entire Bavarian Electoral cavalry as one very strong brigade.
First is the Arco Cuirassiers in grey coats with mid-blue facings, followed by Wolframsdorff with green facings and finally Costa with red/scarlet facings.
Next is the household cavalry, consisting of the Carabineer Garde (in red facings), the Grenadiers a Cheval with bearskin headgear and white facings and the Leibgarde-Hartschiere in black facings with silver highlights. I also add one squadron of the Locatelli Hussars who were formed around this time.
In the next posting I will cover the artillery, transport and Command and Control sections of the army.
