From IanW: 15mm Lancashire games SYW Prussian Dragoons (114 Points)

Back with my 15mm Prussians again. This time two regiments of Dragoons. This reinforcement will give me three Dragoon, three Cuirassier and two Hussar regiments. I still have a further three dragoon regiments in hand to paint up. Possibly towards the back end of the challenge.

Regiment 1 von Norman again was part of the army that invaded Saxony and saw quite a bit of action in the battle of Reichenberg where it won it's first tussle with the Austrian cavalry but on becoming disordered from heavy infantry fire were driven back by the now rallied Austrians. Timely intervention by a regiment of Hussars charging the Austrian rear allowed them to retake the advantage but the battle cost them dear.

I originally selected this regiment as the images attached showed a brown lining of the coats but this turned out to be black. Still it worked well enough for me.

My second regiment is Number 5 Markgraf Friendrich von Bayreuth somewhat more colourful with the red lining. This regiment also took part in the battle fighting in the same series of melee's as Norman. Hopefully these regiments in miniature will be able to give as good account of themselves when they get on the table.

The flags are again from Cadogan Hobbies that I have painted the edges of to make them nice and neat. Two regiments each of 14 figures should supply me with 112 points, all of which will be very welcome for one of my side duels. Next up some alternative material 6mm cavalry. 

15mm? What madness is this? Where are the teensy ones this week? 

SYW isn't something I've ever been able to muster much interest in. Yes, that probably makes me a wargames heathen, as I know it's otherwise quite popular. But these Prussian gents look fine in their lined blue coats and tricornes. What's the manufacturer on these? 

Your maths is right, but two bonus points granted for flagging.
