Austrian SYW Hussars

[valleyboy]

Bit of a quandary Gents
You see I'm clearing a load of Hostrian cavalry from the lead pile and have just finishdeded the Cuirassiers and Dragoons
Oops I thought I don't have any Hussars.....

So off I go to look at the Crusader range to see that they no longer sell any
Anyone know why not?

Apart from Frank Runt I know of no other source I could easily use and I note Foundry don't do Hostrians
I remember John Ray saying that he swapped Hussars around and did not differentiate between nations - or I think I remember that

Any of you knowledgeable Gents got any suggestions?
I know Eagle miniatures do SYW but their Horseseseses are dire and F&D too unlike what I already have
Any suggestions
Should I just use Hussarseses from other nations? Was there much difference - I see Kronoskaf showing them all in busbies
Thanks

I've taken a brief look through Summerfield's book & other than the obvious uniform colour variations there doesn't seem to be much difference between the AH regiments. I suspect that any differences between nations are likely to be minor, so I'd use whichever figures you find that you like & if more information comes to hand simply use them as cavalry from one of the numerous, transient and ill documented Legions/Frei Korps in the war,

Don't Foundry market their Hussars as just that, not a particular nation's Hussars? That's good enough for me for toys in a game. So far no button freak has called out my French Hussars. The figures paint up easily too.

Thanks gents that's what I was hoping and well spotted David I've had another look at Foundry now and you are correct - they are listed as Hussars rather than by nation

At 25mm I'd guess the only issues are horse furniture and headgear.
