New Reichsarmee unit: converged Grenadiers

I'm really happy I chose the rather not-so-famous battle at Zinna between the Prussians and the Reichsarmee for my first SYW flats project, because the variety of the Reichsarmee units brings so much color to the table.

That is never as obvious as in the converged Grenadier units. The first of these batallions was dominated by four Kurmainz companies, but the second combines companies from five different regiments for a real nice mix of colors and even of Prussian and Austrian style Grenadier caps.

The whole batallion in close order

Note the two cemter companies with Prussian style mitres in between the flank companies with Austrian style bearskin caps. Center rear has the Württemberg grenadiers with very recognizable yellow vests and breeches.

Here you can see the companies spaced a little more apart. At the far end on the right, two companies Baden-Baden Grenadiers. In the center, Hessen-Darmstadt in front and Württemberg in the rear. On the left flank (front of the picture) Kurpfalz guard Grenadiers in front and the Franconian Grenadiers of Regiment Ferntheil who are even mixing different uniforms and Grenadier caps within a single company.
