Notes and Answers on the uniforms

to answer Jean-Louis' question, I haven't developed a cavalry standard yet. I believe Jeff has plans to work up a set of templates when he gets a chance, so I'll probably borrow whatever he does (with his permission of course) and develop mine then.

As for the Princess Getrude regiment, that has morphed since then into a small legion-style force of mixed cavalry and infantry, exact composition as yet undetermined. I do know it will have at least two companies of musketeers and probably at least one of grenadiers. I've done uniforms for both of these, but none for any cavalry yet. Being somewhat subject to the whims of the Princess, it may end up being somewhat like Kleist's Freikorps in having various formations of different troop types all under one banner. Which would be an interesting way of using up the odds and ends of spare troops as I go. :>

Have I missed any questions?

Very promising idea! A*lot* of uniforms for a single mixed Legion.
Hope it'll keep its pink (call it 'amaranth', like Murat, if Princess Getrude or the Minister of War & Protocol don't like the word 'pink')

Actually I did post some flag templates for cavalry and dragoons a little while back . . . and, of course, you may use them.

So you did, Jeff. I totally failed to save a copy at the time.
