NEW! Austrian Army of the Revolutionary War. Perrys






The first of the metal Austrian Army is now available. Perry Miniatures - By Alan and Michael Perry
The uniform these infantry are wearing dates from 1767-1798, however it can be pushed to 1800.
At this time two standards were used per battalion. Grenz Infantry during this period looked like Hungarian infantry, although Grenzers in the Klobuk (tall felt cap) are also on the workbench.
Apart for the major campaigns against the French, these can be used to fight the Austro-Ottoman War 1788-1791 and War of the Bavarian Succession 1778-1779 or Potato War (where not a lot of fighting happened!)
Plastic Austrian infantry are in tooling, there’ll be two sets, German and Hungarian.

More good news from the Perrys

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that the next box would always be Austrians to fight the French. The first set is dedicated to the German regiments of the Austrian Army and will cover options for either Fusiliers or Grenadiers in the same box. You will be able to build them either as marching or attacking. The first of the ‘3ups’ is heading for tooling. Alan is also working on a metal range of Austrians and is adding to the French.

Battle of Tourcoing 1794

The Battle of Tourcoing (18 May 1794)[1] saw a Republican French army directed by General Joseph Souham defend against an attack by an Habsburg, British, and Hanoverian Coalition army under Austrian Prince Josias of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. 
Tourcoing 1794. The Duke of York, separated from his command, narrowly avoided capture and was obliged to wade a deep brook to escape.
