I'll be really interested to see the Sappers actually, when they're done. I'm probably going to be using some of those Austrians you sent me to form a sapper battalion of my own.
I support the "pink facings /turnbacks" for the 5th (Von Flickenhoffer's) Fusiliers regiment from Tauroggen-Fiebus: currently (with white) they look very 'Insurgents of the AWI'; not that I dislike the uniform, but with pink it will be far more 'original' / 'characteristic'.
Even if the drummers wera 'reversed colors' they would look 'decent': think that among the Napoleonic French cavalry in green, among dragoons, chasseurs and chevau-legers, some regiments had pink facings, and the trumpeters wore 'reversed colors': pink with green facings is the 'awful' combination always quoted as 'what creators of Imagi-Nations would NOT do'!
Excellent designs, Stokes! As Jean-Paul says, pink can be a dangerous color to deal with, but I think it'll work fine with von Flickenhoffer's regiment. As for sappers... hmm! I knew there was something missing from my own OrBat.
