So if the cell is red, for instance, that means the cuffs, collars, turnbacks and lapels (with some variation) were red. The color of the cell to the left, naming the unit, is the base color of the coat of the regiment. <br /><br />For more detailed descriptions of the uniforms (if you are into miniature war gaming), there are a number of sources, but I generally use Duffy's books on the armies of Frederick and Maria Theresa for these wars.Jeff Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188876209461291938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403809316122064334.post-71485616448445856402013-04-25T13:23:28.104-07:002013-04-25T13:23:28.104-07:00Forgive my ignorance, but what does the facing val...Forgive my ignorance, but what does the facing value mean?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215605210887310074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403809316122064334.post-53494592529647766762013-04-23T13:17:31.559-07:002013-04-23T13:17:31.559-07:00Great news about the next post, I will look forwar...Great news about the next post, I will look forward to reading it. I think there are a lot of Lone Wolf wargamers these days, as it has become a less popular hobby.<br />I was going to start up a blog on blogspot myself, just to catalogue my progress in modelling and wargaming, but I have not quite got it off the ground yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215605210887310074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403809316122064334.post-75928372401931688692013-04-22T18:00:44.750-07:002013-04-22T18:00:44.750-07:00Thank you, Ro.

I, too, am a solo wargamer and model collector (I have over 28,000 figures so far). Working on a new post even as we speak; Wertingen, another small battle from the 1805 campaign.
