Hi Guys,
I've a few packs of Austrian Infantry and command in broad brimmed hats ready for the painting table, along with what appears to be a decent uniform guide for the period:

As I'm relatively new to the period (I've ordered a couple of books from the LOA reading list to help me along) I was wondering what specific campaigns these may be used in?
I'm guessing the Siege of Vienna is an obvious one.
I've also got Williamite Dutch, so would be nice if I could use both at some point.
Also, what period did the transition from brimmed hats to tricorne occur? or was it a gradual process with the possibility of units and armies having a mix of both?
I picked up the Reiver Castings Austrians purely on the basis that I like the look of the figures and in particular the Prince Eugen figure!!
