Vote your colors, Spaniards!!!

[Prometeus]

The point: I found this picture of several Spanish battalions that taked an important role at Madonna dell'Olmo's battlefield. But there's room for only one of them, so... vote, VOTE, VOTE !!!!!!!

[Prometeus]

Ahem, the picture...

... is here!

White jackets were the most common in the Spanish Army, as the picture well shows. So any of the white jackets would do the trick

[kIndal]

JB is right the white jackets are most common in Spanish army, and the trousers blue or red would be the best choice

[Wernazuma III]

non capisco il proposito di questo thread? stai parlando del colore d'un "unit" in un szenario tuo?
scusi, il mio italiano e troppo povero, ma devo pratticarlo.

[Prometeus]

Right, Wernazuma. The throuble is now that i found out also Piedmont and Austrian armies' most favourite color was white ( and, even worse, Piedmont grenadiers were dressed in white... ). Lack of tissue paintings in XVIII century? Kidding... Thanks for the info, kIndal.

PS A tip for your Spanish succession war scenario... two of the most bloody battlefield were in Italy - Bitonto and Velletri - and a cruel civil war opposed "carlisti" e "filippini" in Sardinia.

At first time I haven´t designed to make it as a European scenario, just a Spanish civil war, but after I have re thougth and it is very possible that if i finally make it I will amek a european war, I have one question about it: do you some good info about it, here in spain it isn´t a very popular war.
Have you info about the uniforms?

My main source is an illustrated comic book, designed by great Dino Battaglia ( good austrian uniforms, and general Stork is magnificent - but only a few english and french ones ). Got a romance "I Beati Paoli", about Sicilian kingdom around this era. Several good pics in this one too, but i need some time to find this weirdo.


These are just an appetizer... haven't scanned italian web yet. ***

Also in Italy Spanish Succession War isn't too much popular ( a lot more less then Polish and Austrian ones...).
