Juat finished a battalion of Royal Italians , and as per the uniform guide painted them in brown coat,red cuffs etc.. maybe not the most flattering of colour schemes, but still... couldnt find any other reference to brown coated troops...were there any?
also whats the worst uniform colour combination? There are some horrific napoleonic uniforms but for wss ,Bavarians in light blue and yellow cuffs (unless painted with care) can look bloody off putting...maybe that was the idea. "If your going to fight, clash" with aplogies to Robin williams.
(The historical evidence that God comes from Lancashire is slim, however he's definitely not from Yorkshire)
