The six Chevauleger Regiments and a horse battery were detached from the Bavarian Corps and they were present at Borodino. The chevauleger regiments nrs 3-6 and a horse battery were in Eugène's IVth Corps (Italian) while the 1st and 2nd chevauleger regiment were in the 3rd light cavalry division of the IIIrd cavalry corps. |

Which means you get to join in all the arguments about what colour Bavarian cornflower blue was. Hint: the B in BMW stands for Bavaria and their logo features blue. It's the same blue. |

I had a BMW salesman ask me why their logo was a blue and white checkerboard, I said because it was the national colors of Bavaria. She said no, the blue was sky and the white clouds because BMW started out building airplanes. |

"what colour Bavarian cornflower blue was", well most blues used by gamers do not match the much darker blue present on uniforms in the Bavarian Army Museum….. :-) |
