More Austrian Infantry

The final batch of figures from the purchase of Stan's Austrians.  Just fixed a few paint chips and based them.  A rifles needed gluing to strengthen them (I hope it works).  Three were badly broken and so were converted to standard bearers (with added flags of course - easy with a colour printer).


With the black facings they can represent:
60. Giulai.

Although I could claim the black is actually a very dark green or blue and then they can be:
33. Sztaray,
51. Splenyi,
61. St.Julien, and/or
62. F.Jellacic.

As they represent a brigade sized formation (or large regiment - 16 figures represent 960 men) I am not too fussed.

However, these figures are actually Grenz, but I will claim the depot outfitting these Hungarian infantry units ordered the wrong head gear or was commanded by an officer whose brother only made Grenz style shakos or had a warehouse full of the things and was desperate to use them.
