Although the flags do represent particular regiments
the remainder of the command are rather generic. Most nations favoured a basic
coat colour, yet a minority of regiments wore alternative colour schemes. The
French fielded their regiments in white, but this can easily be pearl grey with
foreign regiments wearing blue or red.

The Bavarian wore not only blue coats, but used the
universal “grey” as well. All figures are from the Essex European war list.
Grenadiers have fur cap with bag which was used by all the Catholic countries and
all foot wear the standard tricorne and long coat.
Bavarian command
Mounted have nearly the same style of uniform but wore
various colours, such as red, white (grey) or blue. Some Bavarian Cuirassiers
still wore the pot helm and cuirass outside the coat. The French did use the
cuirass, but these were worn under the coat.
Next, the Imperial troops,
Cheers,
