Greetings,
Here is my research based on all available information from various sources on the Internet. Now I am not claiming to be 100% accurate, but the is the best I have come up with so far.
I am developing a passion for my Maurice(Sam Mustafa rule set for the 1700's)Bavarian Army of the War of Spanish Succession and have completed a lot of research to find out how they(The Bavarians) fought under the Elector Max Emmanuel of Bavaria(The Blue King). Over time I am going to add pictures of my 28mm army and also some battles. I will also put in information about the Infantry that were used for the brief four years before most of them fell at the Battles of Schellenberg and Blenheim.
