Austrian IR #17 Reuss-Plauen, II battalion

 Here’s a look at the second battalion of this Austrian “German” (actually Bohemian) Infantry Regiment from Bellegarde’s I Korps, Division Dedovich, Brigade Hennenberg. 

It was part of the largest regiment at Wagram, which deployed a total of 3,516 men (in 3 bats for average of 1,172 men, basically a fully maned regiment).  In my scale of 12.5 the OOB of its bats are 89, 95 & 95 men each.

The regiment was in the thick of the fighting, deployed in the front line of the Korps during the French night attack on July 5th, and again in the front line between Wagram and Aderklaa on the second day.

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.   ...
