The Bavarian Army under Carl VII Albert

To begin this section I have these prints from the Herr und Tradition series published back in the 1960's showing the armed forces available to the Elector turned Emperor during the War of the Austrian Succession.

These cover all arms and the flag print is a bit rare showing the Imperial Eagle and crown with the initials C VII for Carl the seventh.  I have a copy of this for wargame figure use if anyone would like the file please let me know.

The couple of pages from the works of the Funckens is shown below:

It should be noted that almost all the Bavarian cavalry of the period were not fully up to strength and did not have enough horses to form up into units, but the uniforms are nice anyway...

A couple of prints by J. A. Drexler from the Brown Collection are also shown below and there are many more done by Drexler at the Brown University download site.  First a infantry drummer and secondly a Hussar trumpeter.

Next a series of free uniform templates available on line as well

I have a 15mm force painted and ready to go for this army and will try to get a decent set of pictures for another posting soon.
