The Landwehr made up the bulk of the Prussian troops after 1813. Many infantry and cavalry regiments were raised. The biggest proportion of Landwehr came from the Silesian part of the Kingdom of Prussia, they had yellow facings on their uniform.

1st Battalion of the 2nd West Prussian Infantry Regiment - finished unit
After finishing the second battalion of this regiment I could manage to paint the first one. As I described it in my previous post: the Prussian line infantry regiments after 1808 had three battalions, two of them were line infantry and the third one was a fusilier (light infantry) battalion. The fusiliers will be completed later for my 2nd West Prussians, I have bought the figures already.

Italian Allied Light Cavalry - finished unit
The lack of cavalry was a constant problem for my Republican Roman army during the games. Last year I managed to paint some Roman Equites medium cavalry, but according to the army list it is compulsory to have light cavalry too. So the light cavalry was always installed by an another player. But this time I could paint my very own light cavalry contingent.

More Italian Allied Legionaries - Finished unit
As a second part of my last blogpost I would like to present two more units of allied legionaries. These two are hastati and principes, therefore I finished a full allied legion (2 hastati, 2 principes and 1 triarii). Next I will paint a commander for the legion.

Italian Allied Legionaries - Finished unit
Nearly half of the Republican Roman troops consisted of allied warriors. There is not much information about them, but probably they were similarly equipped as their Roman comrades (maybe except for the allied cavalry).
