Dressed in their distinctive white coats with regimental-coloured facings, they fought across every major theatre of the conflict — from the Italian plains to the forests of Bohemia. Despite suffering catastrophic defeats at Austerlitz (1805) and Wagram (1809), the Habsburg army reformed and returned to play a decisive role in the campaigns of 1813–14, contributing to Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig and the subsequent invasion of France. The mounted colonel figures reflect the prominent role of regimental commanders in Austrian tactical doctrine, often leading from the front to maintain unit cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Factions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustrian Line Infantry (1806–1815)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustrian Landwehr (with appropriate painting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllied German states using similar uniforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Rulesets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Powder \/ Black Powder II\u003c\/strong\u003e — field as Austrian line infantry battalions; the 56-figure count gives you a full large regiment or two standard-sized units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharp Practice (TooFatLardies)\u003c\/strong\u003e — use as line infantry groups with officer and NCO leaders for skirmish-level Napoleonic games across the 1809 or 1813–15 campaigns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral d'Armée\u003c\/strong\u003e — represent Austrian line infantry brigades in large-scale Napoleonic engagements including Wagram, Leipzig, or the 1814 campaign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLasalle (2nd Edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e — ideal as Austrian line infantry in the Napoleonic order of battle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Silver Bayonet\u003c\/strong\u003e — individual figures make excellent soldiers or specialists; the mounted colonel is a natural choice for a commanding officer or named character in this gothic horror skirmish game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePainting \u0026amp; Modelling Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustrian infantry wore white coats throughout this period — a distinctive and striking look on the tabletop that contrasts sharply with French blue or British red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegimental facing colours (on collar, cuffs, and turnbacks) varied widely across the Habsburg army — research your chosen regiment for historical accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mounted colonels are natural centrepiece models and reward careful painting of horse furniture and officer detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 16 multi-pose figures are best used at the front ranks or on command stands where their varied poses will be most visible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe drummer's reversed-colour jacket follows Austrian convention and is a rewarding painting challenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victrix Miniatures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48033119764618,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/6984\/6666\/files\/28mm-napoleonics-austrian-napoleonic-infantry-1806-1815-2_2048x_397a1731-d218-4643-bb10-3ea8f6d3679a.jpg?v=1776281897","url":"https:\/\/thevictorsspoils.myshopify.com\/products\/victrix-austrian-infantry-1806-1815-x56-figures-28mm-napoleonic-miniatures","provider":"The Victor's Spoils, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
