I already have large German FPW and APW forces but may be getting some spares Baccus 6mm Germans. What options exist for these figures? |

I did paint some as 1914 Germans and they looked okay. |

Some WW1 reservists were issued with older kit, probably not as old as 1870, but may have been similar in appearance. |

Depends what you mean by large, can you field all of the Prussian Corps? Tally Ho! |

Given that they are 6mm and not in full kit, they work fine as WWI, IMO. |

I am thinking anything NOT German ,,,, |

If you want something completely different, there are two other armies that wore Prussian style uniforms and pickelhaube in the late 19th century:
– The Duch of Parma
– Chile
You may have to dream up your own wars for them to fight in mind….

On a separate note, GildasFacit – I have lost where I saw the picture, but to your point on German reservists in 1914, not only were there a lot of Landwehr troops in the old pre 1910 blue uniform on the Eastern Front in 1914, but I actually saw a photo of some in a tall, straight shako (not the Jagerhelm) that looked remarkably like the one used by Prussian reserve troops in 1814! (Many of the reserve uniforms were supplied by Britain – in this case from spare stocks originally intended for the Portuguese army in the Peninsula)
The military have always been great hoarders…… |

Sorry, should have said reserve uniforms for the Prussian army in 1814 – not 1914! |
