"Thrice Blue and Thrice Damned to the Devil!": SYW Prussian Frei-Infanterie

Post by RMD »

I realised last month that my SYW Prussian army was a little lacking in the light infantry department, so an Urgent Operational Requirement was submitted...

Cheers!

Sadly this post on the SYW Wargaming FB group just proved to me that utter cockwombling twatspangles with more aren't confined to the Napoleonic or WW2 pages... :roll:

Very nice, Mark. There's some nice uniform variations for the Freicorps, if you feel like some unreliable jaeger or really bad hussars.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

Cheers! Yeah, I will get around to doing 'Green' Kleist eventually.

Those have turned out really well!
There is no point in being stupid if you don't show it!

Thanks fellas. Same blue as always for the coat - Humbrol 104 Oxford Blue for the basecoat and 25 Blue for the highlight. Historical fact: Every army on Earth used that combination for their blue coats. Who knew...?

For the light blue I use a mix of Humbrol 25 & 89 for the basecoat and then 89 for the highlight.
