New Cavalry Unit Enters Service in Hesse Seewald Army




The Messerschmidt Horse Grenadiers
(de Ligne horse grenadiers in Austrian service)


King Georg Ludwig is pleased to announce that a new cavalry regiment of horse grenadiers has been raised and will join the Hesse Seewald army as the Messerschmidt Horse Grenadiers.


The regiment has only one squadron, which is typical of the Hesse Seewald cavalry establishment, but there is a possibilty that a second squadron might be raised in the future.

As anyone with a discerning eye can see, the unit is actually comprised of Austrian horse grenadiers from the de Ligne dragoon regiment. However, since they are sporting the green coats of the Hesse Seewald army, they can easily do double duty serving as an Imaginations unit. 

That is one of the nice things about Imaginations army - they can consist of anything and whatever you fancy in your own army. And who can say that the uniforms are not correct? It is your army.

These are the new Minden Miniatures Austrian Horse Grenadiers: MAC-007 Horse Grenadier Command and MAC-008 Horse Grenadier Reiters. Each pack has three cavalrymen with horses.
