Something a little bit different for the Zorndorf collection: Dismounted Russian Dragoons. According the Order of Battle for the Observation Corps on the Kronoskaf, the three Battalions of the Observation Corps Grenadiers were joined by a unidentified battalion of dismounted Dragoons. This of course provides the opportunity for a little diversity in army, so I opted to embrace it. Rather than have them in summer uniform, I opted to add their blue overcoats to make them a little more striking. I used the Eureka Miniatures skirmishing Observation corps musketeers as they already have the sabers and tall boots of the Dragoons.
For the battle itself, they will probably join a stand from the Observation Corps grenadiers to form a brigade, as that division is already quite sizable.
A grand addition to your army. Which reminds me - I should do some for mine :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. They're not absolutely necessary, but that's not what hobbies are about. ..
DeleteThat is a nifty addition!
ReplyDeleteI figured they would be interesting and also give the observation Corps an even number of bases overall.
DeleteThose are nifty. Almost (almost ;) ) make me want to jump to 15mm for the SYW.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I am tempted to grow the collection beyond the Russians, but that is what the 10mm project is all about
DeleteColorful and beautiful additions!
ReplyDeleteLooking great sir!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!

DeleteA nice, colorful change of pace for the Russians!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is a refreshing diversion from Red and Green
