7YW Prussian army Review and DBA army

 

When I originally did this army I didn't give it a Review because... well, it's a lot smaller than my usual armies!

Prussian army as described below. It includes all the elements - Musketeers, Fusiliers, Grenadiers, Cuirassiers and Dragoons. Naturally, for Hussars I had to use the ones dressed in black :)

Interestingly I did do a conversion of  Von Seydlitz, it's just that I put him on a separate base instead of part of an element.


For the DBX army I did an AI question asking for armies and enemies to fit the DBX system. The result for the Prussians and suggested enemy:

'The Primary Matchup: Prussia vs. Austria-Hungary

1. Kingdom of Prussia

·         1x General (Heavy Cavalry): Cuirassiers (Frederick or Seydlitz).

·         1x Heavy Cavalry: Dragoons.

·         1x Light Cavalry: Hussars (Perfect for rapid flank maneuvers).

·         6x Musketeers/Fusiliers (Shot/Musket): The main battle line.

·         2x Grenadiers (Elite Shot): Place these on the flanks of your line to absorb heavy pressure or spearhead an attack.

·         1x Light or Medium Gun (Artillery): Representing Prussia's highly mobile horse artillery or battalion guns.

 2. Austrian Empire

·         1x General (Heavy Cavalry): Cuirassiers (Daun or Loudon).

·         1x Light Cavalry: Hussars.

·         7x Musketeers (Shot/Musket): A deep, resilient white-coated wall.

·         2x Grenadiers (Elite Shot): Your shock infantry to counter the Prussian elite.

·         1x Heavy Gun (Artillery): The famous, devastating Austrian Liechtenstein artillery to smash Prussian lines from afar.

  1. Very nice to see your Prussian army, they look grand and the AI match up looks decent enough too.

    1. AI does have it's uses as long as you keep checking it's answers and realise it's limitations.

  3. Hmmm, I'd have thought the heavy 12pdr 'Brummers' are the more iconic Prussian artillery, there wasn't much horse artillery and I can't recall it ever doing anything notable. And Austrians without any Grenzer! That AI is defnitely not SI.
