Standard Infantry Regiments comprise four battalions of Musketeers (each of 4 companies) and two companies of Grenadiers. Both senior Regiments, "Kronprinz" and "Markgräfin Katharina" boast a double complement of Grenadiers. The majority of Grenadiers wear an "Austrian" style fur cap with coloured bag. As is usual, each Regiment has an integral Artillery component. These technical personnel wear a "Tobacco Brown" uniform with the Regimental distinctions.
In time of war, Beimbach-Schönau can raise numerous irregular units from it's non-Germanic subjects. Amongst these are the often villainous "Pandour" formations, both infantry and cavalry, who operate outside the bounds of civilised warfare.
Looking forward to discover the distinguishing features of these 7 regiments!
