"Swedes in 6mm: what to proxy with?" Topic

I'm needing some Swedes for my Leipzig game. Neither Baccus nor Adler make them so I'll need to proxy. What would you sub in for Swedes in 1813?

Baccus Spanish infantry in round hats will cover your Swedish line units.
You can use Spanish in bell tops as Swedish bell top infantry (guards).

Hussars…. very old style so I think 7YW Prussians will cover your Swedish Hussars.
Your Swedish life guards…. maybe Bavarians or targeting cavalry could pass ?
Chassuers might serve as their shako cavalry.

Some Swedish units wore the Russian 1812 Kiwer (shako) so you could use Russian line infantry.

Yes. Russians will work better than bell tops.

And by targeting I meant "Tarleton wearing"

During the 1813 campaign, most of the line infantry quickly moved from the old fashioned hat to the shako. Nearly all adopted the Russian style shako but at least one regiment seems to have adopted the French style shako. So Russian or French line infantry as proxies.

Foot Guard and Grenadier regiments wore the 'kusket', a black leather helmet like the hat in style but larger and with a 'chenille' horse hair crest diagonally for the guards and fore-and-aft for the grenadiers. Perhaps Spanish line infantry with hat plus green-stuff as proxies.

The artillery had the French style shako. So perhaps French Horse Artillery 1812-1815.

Hussars had the Mirleton so perhaps Spanish as proxies.

Life Guards had French style shako and jacket with lapels. They got new hussar style uniforms are the end of the campaign. British Light dragoons perhaps.

Cuirassiers wore a helmet but no cuirass on campaign. Russian Cuirassiers perhaps.

Dragoons and Carabiniers wore shakos, probably French stye. British Light dragoons again.

Thanks everyone, that makes it easy! I'll use Russians for the infantry since I already have some…..
