BLB - Vienna 1683 - Bavarian Schutz Cuirassiers

 


Staying with my Vienna 1683 project for another post, that you may or not see?

I followed Jon's advice on the link below, it has worked on some other blogs but not all, including my own?? So go give Jon's post a read. Also thanks to David at The Ragged Soldier for his additional advice.

We have 2 Squadrons of  Bavarian Cuirassiers


From the Schutz regiment


During the historic grand charge down the hills of the Wienerwald on September 12, 1683, the Bavarian heavy cavalry fought alongside the Imperial Austrian and Saxon cuirassiers on the left-centre wing of the Allied advance. They clashed heavily with Ottoman Sipahi cavalry and pushed through key defensive pockets near the village of Nussdorf.

  2. Very nice indeed Ray…
    I do like the classic Bavarian cuirassiers… I’ve got some to add to my WSS collection …
    I think I may copy you and have a couple of squadrons.

    All the best. Aly

    1. Good idea Aly, I choose this regt because it had green cuffs, not the usual Cornflower Blue as in the Arco Cuirassiers who everyone seems to paint up.

  5. I like the look of the cavalry ranked as a block of two rows - lovely

    You are not on my blogroll reader list thingy (yet!) and I picked this post up from Jonathan's Blogroll. He may well become the one stop blog to try to catch up on all the posts that we may be missing.

    Everything does seem to be a bit hit or miss as to which blogs pull you through into their blogroll. I am not confident enough to put a lot of work into a post, until such times that things get back to a more even footing.

    1. P.S. I have you down as a https on my blogroll, but still you are not showing! If I am understanding all of this right (probably not!) you should be as we are both using the 's' thing. What we need is a ten year old hacker who can sort all of this out for us! :-)

  7. Well this post has shown up Ray, but really hit and miss as to what appears, what doesn't and when it might be visible:(. Great work though:)!

  8. So annoying Blogger can't just sort all of this mess out themselves.

    New cav look very "Roundhead" to me. I like them though. Good stuff Ray.

  9. I have just been through an taken out all the s's in my list and yours was the only one that moved. Of course, the 's' stands for 'secure', so no doubt we will have to put it back in next week when Blogger changes its mind again. Great looking Bavarians Ray. You must be building up quite a force now.

  10. The cuirassiers look magnificent! And I also like the combination of gray bases with bright green grass. I also use this style in my collection on TYW.
