Does anyone know the color of the Piedmontese gun carriages in the War of the Austrian Succesion? An does anyone have suggestions for appropriate 28mm of 1/56 models to use for Pidemontese artillery of this period? |

Savoy-Piedmont is a tricky one – I've been trying to find out the carriage colours for the WSS for some time, and I suspect they might be mid-blue or red (following the French) up to at least the mid-1700s. That said, I did find these links – the first refers to light guns from the French Revolutionary period and the second is a blog on a WAS Piedmontese army which is vague in terms of sources, but supports the later colour.

For everyone interested in the Piedmontese army of the 18th century, this is a great site to take inspirition of.
I Know is in italian, and I'm not the guy who created it, unfortunately, but there are a lot of pictures of uniforms and flags.
