Austrian Infantry on Parade

I've been promising a parade for a while so here it is, my complete force of Austrian infantry - 240 Hinton Hunt figures - enjoy!

L to R, back row: IR 4, 23, 26 third row: IR 32, 51, 59 second row: Grenadiers and Grenzers, front row: Jagers. 
Archduke Charles leads the review.

Don's flag rather showing up my own efforts to be not quite right but I'm not going to change them now!

The two Grenadier units are my favourite.

That's a whole lot of white - the Austrian army laundry bill must have been huge.

Will there be more? Well, who knows...

This time last year I was struggling to find the figures to make up a force of five units but thanks to the generosity of Don and the labours of Goya I finally have a force that General Mack would be proud to surrender to Napoleon.
