This is a completely new revision and update of the Kuhnbooklet with all 'new' plates. 1 vol, 1 pgs 2009 US, DAN SCHORR <br />NEW-CD ......$45.00 This is usually available in book form from the Pike & Shot Society in the UK, though it is currently listed as out of stock. They may advise you on reprint dates. So at present, the CD from OMM is the best option. This book is brilliant - all known detail on uniforms & flags as well as battles, etc. Good luck, Rohan. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-9845959777242829022019-04-12T09:27:06.665-05:002019-04-12T09:27:06.665-05:00I think Dr. Summerfield states that the green &quo...I think Dr. Summerfield states that the green "Hungarian flag" was not issued solely to Hungarian regiments, but rather includes the royal cypher of Maria Theresa as the Queen of Hungary.

A good source for old flags is Xenophon: http://www.xenophon-mil.org/milhist/austrianarmy/austrianarmytable.htm Please check the Prince Eugene plates.<br />I used them for 4 of my Austrian batallions.<br /><br />Besides do you have correct figures for Hungarian infantry? The figure from PeteFlags from 2015 would be wrong for most of the WAS. <br />As you will need different figures for hussars, because they didn't had those hight caps. They were looking more like on the Pictures by Gudenus (1735). Morier represents the uniforms from around 1748. But I assume that you will game the early part of the war - that means 1741-1745 (Mollwitz - Hohenfriedeberg).<br /><br />Cheers,Amtmann B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02939313112868431455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-20112499278452670752019-04-12T02:11:55.250-05:002019-04-12T02:11:55.250-05:00I have long thought that the WAS Austrian army is ...I have long thought that the WAS Austrian army is far more interesting than the SYW one.
