The Hungarian Knots came out very well.<br /><br />On the matter of brigading of Hungarian units, it seems that brigading Hungarian with Hungarian was the rule but it was not without exception. Ettingshausen's Brigade of Jellacic's Division of of Feldmarschall Hiller's VI Corps comprised IR32 Esterhazy Infantry (Hungarian) and IR45 De Vaux Infantry, which was Italian according to one of my sources (on line) or German (book) or had become Italian by 1809 (the regiment was disbanded that year).<br /><br />As I was looking at my books anyway I thought to identify the regiments. That with the red facing appears to be 34th or the 39th. But the other I can't place, unless the pink is the 'pompadour' favoured by 52nd or 53rd Infantry. The slightly purplish quality to your choice of colour suggests the likelihood. Mind you, sources do vary somewhat. My other source describes the 52nd facings as 'pale rose', which is certainly pink for mine (it also says the 53rd is 'Croate' (sic)) ... <br /><br />They are bally fine looking units - as usual!<br /><br />On the flag front: I prefer one per unit - it is possible to have too many flags. Having said that, my 36-figure Marlburial wars Imperialist units get two. The reason is that I can split them up into 18-figure battalions (if I want) each with their own flag. The two-flag colour party is pruely in the interests of such flexibility.<br /> <br /><br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-88872057256714457762016-08-25T04:47:31.762+12:002016-08-25T04:47:31.762+12:00These look fantastic - well done.

The trousers are a bit of a pain (I actually don't mind doing them that much myself), but the yellow braid on light/medium blue looks fantastic, doesn't it? You definitely need a few more Grenz and Hungarians...oh, and at least one unit of the wonderful Perry Hungarian Insurrectio!<br /><br />The flags issue is of course more one of personal taste than anything else. I have the opposite view - 2 flags per regiment (or battalion) seems to me way too many - there were only 2 flags for 800+ men, and now we're going to have 2 per 36? <br />Sehr Fahnenliche!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-79751376357109397332016-08-24T23:48:22.757+12:002016-08-24T23:48:22.757+12:00Just one thing, Hungarian Regiments were only brig...Just one thing, Hungarian Regiments were only brigaded with Hungarian rgiments, they were never brigaded with non Hungarians. Since this is a brigade of six battalions the senior regiment should have two colours the Kings and Regiments colours and the junior regiment two colours either the same as the senior regiment or with two regiments colours! Putting in a single flag in these units just doesnt look right IMHO. Since you are basing them in 3x2 you can put the Officer, and two soldiers in the front rank and the two colourseither side or the drummer in the rear rank?Drew Jarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917651375834541415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-9483091882551816212016-08-24T23:25:30.356+12:002016-08-24T23:25:30.356+12:00Splendid work Mark!
