Reinforcements for my 18th century imagi-nations

When I first started this blog, my original aim was to write about the imaginary countries of Syldavia and Borduria, well-known to all fans of the Tintin books, their history and their armies and personalities of the 18th century.

Over time, the blog had expanded to cover all things wargaming, but I still love my imagi-nations, and often think about what I could write about next. I am always also thinking about new units I could create for my armies (used for Sharp Practice), including some Ottoman enemies who threaten both Syldavia and Borduria from the south.

Anyway, one nagging annoyance was that I created a couple of units which were understrength and I've recently addressed that issue. Here are four groups of eight figures who all provide reinforcements for their respective units.

First, the Syldavian Douma Regiment of Pandurs. These now have two line groups, a group of skirmishers, an officer and two NCOs.

Now, the pride of the Syldavian Light Infantry, the Strelec Jäger Regiment. I am thinking that I might upgrade the Schützen group roster so that they will be equipped with rifles. 

Next, the Bordurians. First the Smederevka Hajduk Regiment, volunteers and conscripts equivalent to the Syldavian Pandurs.

And finally, the feared Moznik Jäger Regiment, equipped and uniformed in the Prussian style beloved of the Bordurian Autokrat, Constantine II. Again, I am wondering whether the Schützen group for these troops should have rifles rather than muskets too.
