From Warlord games. Main page warlordgames.com Question: Did all the Hanoverian soldiers wear red hats? I have my doubts. Even the Landwehrs? Thanks in advance for your guidance. Amicalement Armand

I thought the caps were a rarity by 1815 and most have switched to the stovepipe shakos?

There is little evidence to support the Hanoverian Line or Landwehr in caps in 1815. Maybe a few soldiers and some Officers. From the yellow facings I assume those figures are supposed to be Landwehr and most would likely have worn stovepipe shako. Like this guy: link Also see this Rawkins booklet: link

Historical or not, they look very nice. I was more intrigued with the 'plastic Spanish and Portuguese' that were mentioned for later this year.

The cap is likely wong, but it helps market the figs and units. Who would want to paint more british uniforms in shakos. This helps make them distinctly Hanoverian. Now that King's Color on the flag sheet is a whole other debate.
