15mm Blue Moon Great Northern Wars & Marlburian Wars at Fall In

Historicalgamer,

Most of those figures can be adapted from the Malburian line [Brits for the infantry or Austrians or French for that matter], Saxon grenadiers wore a mitre similar to the Brits, artillery is general, the cavalry might prove a challenge depending on BMM catalogue. For the Danish cuirassiers you need some Austrian cuirassiers in tricorn and cuirass worn over the coat, the same with Saxons but with turnbacks [at least for the 1700-1706 period]. Dragoons are fairly generic, so no worries there.

The problem that you'll run into is the grenadiers for the Prussians – most regiments had grenadiers in different forms of mitred attire and the Norwegians, who wore a cap similar to a karpus, though I'm guessing Russians in pokalem could be substituted [can't remember if Blue Moon has any of these]. Also, the Norwegians employed ski troops and I think Russians in pokalem again could fill the bill, though you'll have to scratch build some skis.

Good luck
