Regiment Graf Reuss-Plauen
An upcoming project...The Trondheim Project will be the main project for some time. However a few steps have been taken to start up a new project for Musket Mayhem. In a not a far distant future we will start up a campaign based on the Sige of Vienna. The idea of having western(Austrian/German) troops facing Turks is too tempting to let it be. One can also add Polish Winged Hussars. I had some old Warfare minis left in my staches. They formed the first unit - Graf Reuss Plauen Infantry Regiment. I then bought some additional Front Rank miniatures. They formed yet a unit of Reuss-Plauen and in the works we have Graf Leslie. The history behind these units are not that clear to me. Well Graf Leslie is obviously a unit formed by a ancestor of a Brittish mercenary. There were a few such individuals in the Austrian nobility. There is no set time schedule for this coming project.....I will just add few units now and then. There is still quite a lot of research to do before this can be turned into a game.

Great start on the miniatures!! I am looking forward to the new geographic location of the game.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see Turks, which miniatures are you planning to do use?
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeleteI will be doing the Turks. So far I've completed a couple of provincial cavalry units, and have just started some Janissaries.
The painting won't be as splendid as what Jeppan produces, but still.....
I'll try to post a few pics in a little while.
I look forward to see the what turks these Austrians will face as well. I the moment I am about to field some curassiers to face this turkisk threat.
