Infanterie Regiment Nr.8 "von Tschernowitz"

The eighth of the Line Regiments has a large proportion of Bohemian personnel.  Many of these men are Protestant and the potential for friction is known by the High Command.

Heinrich von Tschernowitz is another local magnate but is somewhat more concilliatory than many of his peers.  He holds lands in the north-west of the State and these are heavily populated by Czech migrants.  By no means a "liberal" he has however learned that by at least tolerating his peasants' "heresy" he can avoid much conflict and increase revenues.  Boosting his income is a necessity as the Freiherr is well known for his profligate spending and personal flamboyance.

The Regimental details are thus:

Officers wear metallic "Silver" lace and buttons.
Grenadiers have a "Sky-Blue" and White cap bag.

Inhaber: Heinrich, Freiherr von Tschernowitz

  1. A nice -and logical- combination of colorful 'regimental' and 'Arm of Service' distinguishing features!

    With such precedents I'm looking eagerly forward to discover the Cavalry!

  8. Thank you Gentleman - David, I hope you don't mind me chopping your templates around for a more 1720s feel!

    MFG

  9. No, that's fine. I'm hoping to find time to do some actual WSS templates eventually as there seems to be some demand these days. ;-)

    Cheers,

  10. Fraternal greetings from Grand Duke Karl of Hetzenberg. I hope you enjoy your time as an Imagineer as much as we. Very nice uniforms, and of a practical color too for the gunners. Hetzenberg too is beginning to see the value inherent in the "six-mile-snipers."

  12. Dear Reichsfurat HubertusII, our humble scribe make a grevious error, as a Head of State and a member of the nobility, you are entitled for investment into the Ancient and Honorable Order of the Tankard. Best regards...
