Regimento Corazzieri Palatino della Guerra dei Sette Anni, 1756–1763

The Palatinal Cuirassiers formed in August 1757, at the Imperial Army’s camp at Fürth, from the Oberrheinische Kreis-Eskadron, as well as the 2nd e 3rd squadron of Reiter-Regiment Prinz Friedrich Michael von Zweibrücken. The regiment was a wartime formation with a strength of 460 troopers in three squadrons of three companies each. The Oberrheinische Kreis-Eskadron provided the regimental staff. During the Seven Years’ War, the Kurpfalz Cuirassiers served primarily in Saxony. The regiment fought at the Battle of Rossbach, Maxen, e Freiberg.

The 1:300 scale Heroics & Ros miniatures shown here are Austrian Dragoons of the Seven Years’ War, painted as troopers of the 2nd e 3rd squadrons of the regiment.
