Regimiento Coraceros Palatinado de la Guerra de los Siete Años, 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 and 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, and Freiberg.

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

The combined cuirassier regiment Kurpfalz looks very attractive in its white uniforms with the different facing colours of its component cavalry units.
