From the German 'Kabinettskriege' - Cabinet Wars: a period of limited conflict from the Peace of Westphalia (1648) to the French Revolution (1789).

4th Hussars on Parade

Decided I couldn't wait to get them out to the cabin so as it wasn't raining as had been forecast, I nipped out and got them on the table.  The table was still set up from my last Chain of Command game as we're shortly fighting the same scenario again.  

So, they rode out into the field for their first parade.


Then, once Lasalle had placed himself at their head, they were reviewed by the Emperor and his extensive entourage.


His majesty was pleased to see that at last one of his cavalry regiments had managed to field more men than he had generals.  The 4th Hussars are bigger than my standard 12-figure units as I didn't have enough for two units and didn't want to leave any of them unused.  Also, the 4th Hussars, along with the 13th Cuirassiers, seem to have kept up their strength better than most.  Out of the 28 Nafziger OOBs that list the 4th in Spain they are 600+strong in 20 of them and even more than 900-strong in two of them.
