For our first army, I present to you the 'White Menace' of Austria. Some of my Austrians go back to the mid 80's and are my first
purchase of H&R's.
I wanted a multi-Corps army based on 1809 that I could use for anything between 1809 & 1814. In general I like to start with historical units and build from there. started with I Corps, III Corps & I Reserve Corps. Both the I & III Corps are complete. I've added some Hungarian units to paint for 1812 battles. I also have some Landwher completed that only need basing. The table below will show the status of the Army.
I just finished 6 Dragoon stands and should finish the other 6 in a few days. After that it's on to the Chevauleger.
