Austrian Heavy Cavalry Division Hess-Homburg

This was the largest Austrian heavy cav division, which included all 6 of the in-theater Kuirassiers regiments (the Austrians foolishly sent their other 2 with VII Korps on its fiasco in Poland).

Each regiment was composed of 6 SQ, originally of 135 men each.  However all regiments had suffered attrition on the campaign and none were even close to full strength by Wagram.  Additionally, 2 SQ of the 1st Kuirassier regiment Kaiser were assigned to guard the baggage train, so unavailable for combat at Wagram.

3rd brigade Kroyher is the lead formation (missing the 2 SQ/1 Div guarding the baggage train).

2nd brigade Lederer is Directly behind it (8th Reg. On the right, 4th on the left)

1st brigade d’Hurbal is on the left of the formation (with 3rd Reg. then 2nd Reg.)

So I did order additional Hat Carabiniers in the new true French blue! Lol

 Decided to buy another 5 sets of the Hat Carabiniers in the latest dark blue of the recent restock to (re)make my 2 guard Chasseur bats.   ...
