Late 17th Century additions from the Duchy of Savoy

I've got 'enough' French and Dutch for my 1670's project but have a couple of unit's worth of figures left in the box of doom. For reasons long lost in the cavernous echoey bits of my mind I have some Savoyard flags for the late 17thC so thought, hell why not? So here you have my first Savoyard units, the regiment Croce Bianca (iirc, it had links through its colonel to the Knights of St John)

      It’s only an extension of an existing one!

    Excellent work. I seem to remember that the Duke of Savoy couldn't quite decide which side he was on... a lovely unit which inspires for Marsaglia (at least I think that's the right battle)

    A great way to use up some spare figures:)

      I have enough ‘spare’ figures for another two battalions and a regiment of horse!

      Thanks Simon. They are indeed, with the odd Dixon I think.

      And if you find yourself in Teesside anytime let me know and you can call in and see them in the flesh.
