GRAND-TACTICAL NAPOLEONIC WARFARE IN MINIATURE

The Austrian Army of the Napoleonic wars was unusual in that it had no elite guard formations like those of other nations. The only equivalent to these were their few divisions of line grenadiers which were permanently "converged" from the various regular army regiments. The line infantry was split into German and Hungarian regiments. Hungarian regiments usually wore blue breeches, and they were also the first units to be issued shakos in 1809. Regimental colors ranged among various shades of yellow, blue, green and red. In 1809, there were 64 line infantry regiments in the Austrian army. Grenadiers wore uniforms much like the line, except their distinctive headgear, which had a brass front plate and laced top patch in regimental colors.

An logo indicates that additional written information is also available, such as regimental lists of facing colors and other related items. Wherever the word "Regimental" appears below, it means that the facing color of a regiment is used for that item instead of a standardized color. In such cases, watch for the logo, which commonly links to lists of regimental facing colors. Note : Jager painting by Velimir Vuksic.
