The Battle of Austerlitz - 15mm Austrian army from 1805 by Bothi
Make it stop
After two units of infantry I needed some variation. So I decided to do the cavalry next. These are again Old Glory minis. Really crude details :C
This is a small unit with 4 bases and 3 horses each repesenting about 100 cavalry men. 100 is a bit small for a unit in FoG:N, but we decided to do it anyways for otherwise the Austrians would have no cavalry at all.
These are the Dragoons Regiment #1 Erzherzog Johann / Archduke John. We had some discussion whether these were light or heavy cavalry as the sources disagree on that fact. Fact is they had white uniforms which in the later years were typical for heavy dragoons. Earlier white was the color of light dragoons (green was the color of the chevaulegers). But as the difference between chevaulegers and light dragoons blended over the years light dragoons used more and more the green uniforms. In the end we decided to field them as heavy dragoons as these are fitting the minis I bought with the helmet and the pallasch (cavalry sword).
