Uniforms of Saxe-Jarlsberg and Hesse-Limberger
These two small states to the south of Monrovia, are bound by treaty to supply troops in time of war. The treaties specifies Saxe-Jarlsberg to supply a regiment of dragoons and some artillery; Hesse-Limberger to supply two Infantry regiments. In return Monrovia guarentees their sovereignty and promises to come to their aid if they attacked.
Great looking uniforms! Always a gratifying enjoyement to discover new ones. A question betraying the (narrow) limits of my knowledge: are they 'historical', or your original brainchild? Compliments, Jean-Louis
The Artillery uniform is close to that of the Reicharmee Suabian contingent. The rest of the uniforms are pure invention (partly inspired by other Reicharmee units).
Giving my personal fondness for imaginary uniforms, I'm grateful that at least the minor allies on the Monrovia-Wittenberg theatre get some, at the time when Leder-Hosen turns sadly 'purely historical'... Compliments, Jean-Louis
A blog documenting the encounters between the armies of the imaginary nations of the Kingdom of Wittenberg and its neighbours (including the Kingdom of Monrovia and their allies). My inspiration being drawn from 'Charge or How to Play Wargames' by Young & Lawford and 'The Wargame' by Charles Grant.
I have a number of other period interests for wargaming (from ancients to WW2), these have their own blogs, see below.

I like the "split pompoms". Good, clean-looking uniforms.
