Last of the 4 new regiments of Austrian Line, these fellows are from I.R. #43, whose inhaber was FML - FZM Baron Joseph Simbschen.
It was recruited in Krain (Carniola), now part of Slovenia, and was considered the unofficial "National Regiment" of that area. It was disbanded after the 1809 campaign.
Its facings are yellow (variously described as "Schwefelgelb", i.e., "sulfur yellow", yellow, or lemon yellow) with brass buttons.
The regiment fought at the Battle on the Piave, the crossing of the Tagliamento, and at Graz in 1809. These figures are from Piano wargames once again, this time using the more standard marching poses.
Superb work again on those lovely figures Your Austrians are as good as I have seen, really very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie. I could do more with the faces in particular, but aside from on line photos and close inspection, who is going to notice?!
DeleteMore great Austrians Peter, your productiveness amazes me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris. I'm usually at my most productive in the winter,!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Keith. When I have time, I have 2 units of Landwehr, 1 each of Hussars and Dragoons, some command and artillery batteries to do. Oh, and a smattering of Tirolese rebels, cows, and sheep!
