Russian relief corps to Saxony 1704-06
The corps consisted of slightly more than 10600 men, excluding command, in 1704. Losses through desertion and disease was so high that by the battle of Fraustadt only approximately 6300 man remained, in 10 battalions. Over 4000 Russians were killed, among these 4-500 prisoners that were massacred. The surviving Russians, some 2000 men, in time reformed in Saxony and a new regiment under the command of Rentzel was formed. See this unit in the listing.

Note: It can sometimes be a bit hard to know what Lofving means when he e.g. writes "Blue livery", or "Red clothes with blue livery", etc.
My interpretation is that when he only writes e.g."Blue livery", everything is blue: Coat, waistcoat and breeches.
If it says "Red clothes with green livery", I assume that the coat is red, but that cuffs, waistcoat, and breeches are green. Stocking colour is never mentioned.
Your guess is as good as mine.

А как в книге с иллюстрациями? Можно какой типичный обоазчик посмотреть?

Иллюстрации цветные, только там преобладают знамена, а фигурки маловаты. Плюс по русским - два планшета самого г-на Беспалова из его книжки (1-я часть, о 1700 годе) и планшет - такое ощущение, что фигурки плоских солдатиков по мотивам расписания 1717 года.

Приветствую!
А не подскажете ли роспись по шведским полкам:
Södermanlands regemente
Kronobergs regemente
Västmanlands regemente
Västerbottens regemente
Närkes-Värmlands regemente

Аналогично как давали информацию по русскому корпусу в Саксонии. Спасибо заранее.

И тут от него покоя нету...

Прости, боярин, холопа любопытного
Искал в сети скан с журнала "ОРЕЛ" про шведцкую пехоту, да тока на мертвые ссылки и натыкался(((

Если Вы ищете "Орел" №1 (1992г) со статьей А.Васильева "Пехота шведской армии под Полтавой", то у меня сей экземпляр имеется. Если нужно, пишите, сброшу в личку.

Major в личку написал, жду ответ

Мишель, не беспокойте почтенных камрадов, есть у меня скан этой статьи. Только пользоваться нужно ей очень аккуратно - большинство данных о прикладных цветах и расцветке мундиров не подтверждаются более авторитетными авторами.

Как скажете, боярин, в таком случае, могу я Вас попросить скинуть скан этой статьи?

Мишель, Вы от меня скан получили? Отправил в 12-40 на указанный в личке адрес

О да, благодарю, вот только что получил, скачиваю...еще раз Гран мерси!

В старом "Фигуринесе" за 1997 г. нашел статью (на французском, естественно) по шведским пикинерам под Нарвой. Есть изображение из какого-то издания и хорошие фото ВИМ на эту тему. Это все, что я понял. К сожалению, Мопассана и Бальзака в подлиннике не читаю Материал кому-нибудь интересен?
