Reichsarmee On Parade!

[RMD]

Well that's it, I'm finally calling my Reichsarmee DONE!

I started them in 1997ish, but only did ten battalions and a single cavalry regiment before abandoning them to the depths of the Lead Dungeon. However, having re-discovered my SYW collection during Lockdown in 2020, I re-started the SYW project and among everything else, I managed to paint another 31 battalions, 5 cavalry regiments, 10 guns and a load of generals for the Reichsarmee.

So a few weeks ago I got them out for a parade. Here are the last few blog-posts showing my progress through the units, with the Grand Imperial Parade at Part 11:

Bloody show-off! Just because they're really impressive you think you've done well, don't you?

I'm not bloody jealous. What sort of site doesn't have a sulking emoji? Leave me alone.

That's a rather impressive array! Well done!

Are you SURE they're done?

I only do it for the free drugs and groupies, as you know.

Er, no... (as explained at the end of Part 10)

Same here, to be fair!

To explain: There are five Reichsarmee regiments and one Imperial auxiliary regiment (8 battalions total - 9 if you include the detached grenadiers) that I decided not to include as they either didn't fight at any significant battles or there wasn't any information on flags or both. However, Frederic Aubert has recently dug up a lot of the flag information (or at least made very nice speculative flags) and made flag-sheets for them, so it would be a shame not to eventually add them for the sake of completeness... However, I've also got A LOT of French, Saxons, Hessians, Hanoverians, Brunswickers, British and Russians to do in the meantime. It would also be nice at some point, to do some Piedmontese, Genoese, Neapolitans and Spanish for the War of Austrian Succession.
