7th Showcase - The Russian Seven Years War Army

These are my six brigades of Russians on the SYW. The Miniatures are Mostly Crusader miniatures, some Foundry and the flags are all "self-made" from Kronoskaf.

I opted for the Winter uniform for all, out of fashionable personal preference and because all had the same - only the colour base defines then a regiment, and one can experiment with different regt. sizes ... as some were notoriously under their nominal strength ...

The whole lot

The Gruzinskiy Hussars 


The Garde a Cheval, look like Dargoons, but they weren't



The  Smolensk, Schlüsselburg and Moskov regiments

the Artillery brigade (6pdrs) and some Pandurs

... and the 3pdrs and some Pandurs

and some howitzers

the St. Petersburg, Novgorod and Ingermanlandskiy regiments

the 1st Grenadier regiment

the Leib Guard regiment Preobrazheskiy

the 2nd Grenadier regiment ...

the Vyatskiy Dragoons

The Leib Guard Curassiers

    2. Indeed, thank you for Kronoskaf! 24 for Musketeers and Leibgrenadiergarde and 20 for rest of grenadiers. I am going to make 1 brigade of Grenadiers (3 regiments), 2 brigades of Musketeers (3 regiments each), 2 brigades of cavalry (1 of dragoons and 1 of cuirassiers) plus some artillery support. I thinking about the Tartar regiments and some Jaegers too.
