The Loose Association of Wargamers

A pretty dumb one, I'm afraid.

I'm a few short of suitable mounted ADC figures for my Austrian & Prussian SYW armies.

I do have several pare, unpainted Napoleonic Hussars. Looking at illustrations, they seem exactly the same.

Fur Busby + bag.
Braided dolman.
Braided pelisse, slung over shoulder.
Barrel sash.
Tight breeches.
Hussar boots (under knee, with v-shaped front edge).
The horses have the long, pointy-ended shabraque, with wolf-teeth's lining.

Good to go?

Yeah why not.
I’m assuming you just want Hussar Adcs?

On the Prussian side (though this changed through fs reign) you can have all manner of Flügeladjutanten. Friedrich had 18 (IIRC) and these ranged from magnificent white coats with silver braiding chaps in horse. Blue Coated with silver braided infantry uniforms and others. Delightful!
So you can use any spare figures really.

The senior Flüge were trained to take over command of regiments if needed. The juniors were message bitches. Very cool.

As for the Austrians. Who cares?!

Of course Hussars were an Austrian (or Hungarian) invention, an idea pinched by the Prussians.

The Austrians had a uniform for senior officers, who presumably had the usual degree of leeway that higher ranks often have. http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php? ... rand_Staff ".the common uniform does not prevent the whole 'Generalität' from wearing their regimental uniforms...'."

There's no reason not to use Hussars, Kronsokaf describes a very fetching white Hussar uniform.

Max Cress points for the word “Flügeladjutanten” yes?

1,000,000 cress points for “Flügeladjutanten”
-1,000,001 cress for saying "who cares' about Austrians

Many, many extra cress (and a couple of sausage) points for spelling it correctly.

No, negative actually for being a sad little boy

Everyone should have some Flügeladjutanten, particularly in that natty uniform.

The Austrian uniform is much nicer than the Prussian one but thats always the case

Prussian uniforms are gay.
