Grand alliance Danish?

Post by Gunfreak » Thu Oct 22, 2015 7:59 pm

It's easy to find where the danes where during the WSS, (part of most of the major battles)

But did they take part in any major battle on the continent during the NYW?

I'm toying with making a couple of brigades of warfare figures, one dutch and one danish. But I need to know if they fought togather(I know the danes where in Ireland)

Gunfreak,

as you said there were Danish in Ireland
Danish Royal Life Guard
Queens Regiment
Prince Frederick's Regiment
Prince Christian's Regiment
Prince Georges Regiment
Zealand Regiment
Jutland Regiment
Funen Regiment
Oldenburg Regiment (although amalgamated with the Queens regiment)
Dutch Infantry regiments in Ireland were
Garde te Voet
Nassau
Grabens
Babington
Cutts

I know the Dutch and Danish regiments fought in the following actions during the NYW:
Battle of Landen 29th July 1693
Siege of Namur July 1695
there may be others as well,
I hope this helps

Scroll down for info on the Danish regiments that apparently were not at Neerwinden.
