The Bavarian Army under Carl VII Albert Part II

I took a picture at the Musee de l'Armee in Paris back in 2010 I believe where they display an original Bavarian flag of the period.  Suffice to say the very faded original has lost a lot of detail but confirms the use of the Imperial eagle motif and the blue bavarian lozenge use on the same flag.




There are also some nice cigarette card prints available on the GrosserGeneralstab pages that show interesting details for some units like this grenadier from the Leibregiment.  Note again the darker blue coats than most wargamers use for the period.


Finally here are some pictures of my own 15mm Bavarians with the imperial flags in use and based for our WAS games where a base is a battalion or 2 squadrons each.  The three Kuirassier regiments in their white coats on the right and the three Dragoner regiments in their red coats on the left of the infantry with converged grenadiers in the rear as reserve.  These are primarily Old Glory figures painted by a friend with a black undercoat method.
