The entire Austrian Army.
Apart from the Peter Goldsbrough Collection line battalion converted from helmets to shakos, these were all painted from scratch.
There were no cavalry or artillery (the entire listed Rose Austrian range comprised three figures of fusiliers in helmets - officer, marching and advancing infantrymen). However there also seemed to be advancing and marching Austrian Grenadier figures which are well represented in this army.
I added some artillery - a spare MF 20mm crew, three Newline crews and four Newline guns. I haven't done anything about cavalry and if they are required I will borrow them from my Hinton Hunt Austrian army.
I decided to paint most of the infantry as Hungarian (sky blue trousers) rather than German (white trousers) regiments. The figures are the same, just differently painted trousers.
The whole Rose Austrian army is made up of:
1 battalion German line infantry in shakos
1 battalion German converged Grenadiers
2 battalions Hungarian line infantry in helmets
3 battalions Hungarian converged Grenadiers
1 small unit of Jagers
4 guns and crews
The two generals are one Hinton Hunt figure and one Rose Wellington figure with a paint conversion. There are some Hinton Hunt foot officers in the Grenadier units.
