WIP- Vienna 1683.

I have been considering this for a while.
I have the Poles and I have the Ottomans.
And I've added Imperial and Bavarian Foote to play out the relief of Vienna in 1683. Many of my WSS Imperial Cuirassiers will be fine...and I have lots of them!
I need some Saxon Foote and Horse ( I might cheat and use some of my GNW Saxons...but don't tell anyone).

I guess it's one of those battles that all gamers have heard of and many have played, and I think as I have had the Ottomans for so long it's time to give it a crack.

It will mean a table with the Kahlenburg heights...and maybe a section of the walls of Vienna....and a Turkish camp.

Hmm.....time to get started.

The first of my Imperial regiments. ( I have to confess I didn't paint this unit!)

The battle is too big for me to cover comprehensively on a good sized table- by 'good' I mean the maximum I can fit in my garage! But I figure that if I can get 20- 25 Foot units for the Imperials and Poles as well as a similar number of Horse, I might get a reasonable facsimile of the battle.

Four Bavarian Regiments ( I painted these!)

Imperial Regiments

Bavarians

All the relieving force so far- Bavarians on the left . 9 Battalions in total. I have a few more to paint up!

I can use my existing Bavarian and Imperial Cuirassiers.......

The Ottomans will probably need a few more infantry as they have more than enough cavalry!

and of course...these guys are ready to go:
