I can't wait to finally get these figures. It has long time. I pre-ordered a bunch of these sets. I am going to paint a bunch and then leave some unpainted.

Anxiously awaiting these figures so that my existing Revell Musketeer regiments can have Muscianns and I can finally field Grenadiers in firing line and Musketeers Marching and Advancing. As many Nations/States followed either Prussian or Austrian military fashion these figures can be used for quite a number of armies, not only Austrian. So out goes my plea to Hat to produce those Prussian Artillery Masters that were first shown to us in 2009 so that I can field them not only as Prussians but also as Spanish, or French, or Swedish or Russian. Lets get the coverage we need for the SYW.
Best regards,
Malcolm

Now there's a great follow-up set to these line & grenadier troops. donald

Ordered mine and waiting on the mailman to bring them! Now about those Grenzers, what an important, vital component for the Austrian armies! But please, don't forget the Hungarian line regiments!!
Oh, and we're gonna need some cavalry too: hard to beat the Revell Dragoons but we desperately need Kurassiers (one set could serve as Austrians or Prussians with a paint conversion), and Horse Grenadiers

About to place my order for the 3 Austrian sets which should mix in well with my Revell figures according to PSR. I like the figures to be doing something so will buy 1:3:1 in the present M:A:C format. I pass on buying the Sampler box since it only contains 3 sprues rather than 4. So although cheaper, I would have only considered it if it had contained 2 sprues of Action poses. Each to their own. For my conversion of the Revell Artillery Crew to Pontooniers I finally decided on using the Hat Napoleonic Austrian Artillery Ammunition Caisson instead of the French Pontoon Wagon since it looked more Austrian and was narrower, so was a better fit with the Austrian Limbers. Now how long do we have to wait for those Prussian SYW Artillery.

Planning to paint my SYW Austrian Infantry but first a couple of questions for the forum members:
1: Were the Grenadier Battalions brigaded together in an ad hoc manner or were there some long lasting pairings as with the Prussians? 2: Did the Grenadier Battalions only consist of 1 company each from 2 different regiments or were more regiments brigaded together to give larger fighting formations?

Good questions, and after many years of interest in the Seven Years War I have never quite got to the bottom of how the Austrians responded to the established Prussian grenadier battalions that they encountered in battle time and time again. There is a reference however to the way the Austro-Hungarians organised their grenadiers in the excellent Kronosgraf site: www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Austrian_Line_Infantry_Organisation "The grenadiers often formed in ad hoc battalions of between 4 to 8 companies for special tasks. Often, the grenadiers of the entire armies 1st and 2nd line regiments were converged into a so called "Grenadier Corps" of elites only. Size and composition greatly varied throughout campaigns. "Given also that the Austrians co-operated from time to time with the Russians, who were masters in massing grenadiers, including in standing regiments, it would seem that there was probably a gradual trend amongst the Austro-Hungarians towards standing grenadier battalions as the war went on. The Kronosgraf site also has some extremely useful information on orders of battle at different actions, and I'll leave it for you to look through this. It's revealing for instance to look at the Austro-Hungarian orbats for Leuthen and Kolin, both fought in 1757 and six months apart. At Kolin it looks as if there was only limited brigading of some (not all) grenadiers from selected regiments. By Leuthen, only a half a year later, it looks as if more of the Austrian grenadiers were being combined into something looking more like standing grenadier battalions.

When I went along to my local supplier for my SYW Austrians something had gone wrong with my order and I only had 1 box of Marching figures, so I picked up the Sampler box so that I could check for myself the Action and Command figures alongside their Revell counterparts. Whilst waiting for the rest I read how just 1 box of Marching being divided between Musketeers and Grenadiers came up short on the required number of Marching figures. So I recalculated and my final complete order was for 1 box of Marching, 1 box of Command, 2 boxes of Action and 2 boxes of Sampler. This gives me enough Musketeers for 6 Regiments that can stand alongside the 4 Revell Musketeer Regiments. With the 8 Drummers of the Command box 4 were destined to fight in the Revell regiments and with the 4 Drummers in the Sampler box 2 were head swapped with the advancing Grenadier so that they could join the Grenadier Firing Line and the Hat Marching Grenadiers.
I would also like to say that since Revell chose to produce their Grenadiers with a Cap Badge (good for 9 regiments) I was pleased that Hat when for the plain Grenadier Cap that is good for the majority of regiments.
Now that I have substantial Austrian and Prussian Infantry and 4 boxes of Zvedza Napoleonic Saxon Cuirassiers (only 1 box converted and half painted at the moment), I am waiting for more installments to the armies of this period. Hopefully, the Hat Prussian Artillery will be transformed from the mini-set that has been shown to us and a proper Large Sprue containing 2 Cannons and 2 four man crews (1 firing and the other Loading) plus a Gun Captain will be produced. Also on the large sprue format I would like to see Hungarian Hussars. With 9 different figure and at least 4 different horses, like Hat did with their Napoleonic Swedish Cavalry, there would be room for dedicated Officer and Muscian figures.
Best regards,
Malcolm

I just received my first order of the Marching poses; and they are EXCELLENT! The Command Sets are on their way... and the Action Sets are pending. Finally some opposition for Fred's Boys! This is just the first wave of orders. I intend to latch onto many, many more. I've been pouring through Duffy's book, By Force Of Arms; and I'm looking forward to adding the reprint of, "Instrument Of War", in December, to my reference library. I am a happy camper! Thank You HaT! Now... how about some Hungarian infantry, Hussars, Dragoons, Artillery, and Grenzers?

Having seen the programmed next releases I lament that the SYW has been fogotten yet again. What is it with this period that we collectors have to make do with nearly right conversions from other periods. Recently I managed to pick up a second hand version of the Revell Guard Chasseurs to use as Hungarian Hussars. These along side the Zvedza Great Northern War cavalry sets to give me a little more choice in figures. For the mid to late eighteeenth century my armies seem to contain an awful lot of conversions. For the AWI I converted Lazun's Legion (both mounted and foot figures), American Light Dragoons and British Light Dragoons, while the Hat Masters are years in the making. For the SYW I have bought a dozen Austrian Infantry sets, have quite a few Prussians between Hat, Zvedza and Revell but still wait for the Prussian Artillery and some decent Austrian Field Artillery (the Revell guys man 3lb battalion guns) and all the Currasier regiments are conversions of Zvedza Napoleonic Saxons. When are we finally going to be offered French and Russians for this conflict, or a more comprehensive coverage of the Prussians and Austrians?
