Bravantois Horse

The heavy horse of the Duke of Bravant.

First, the Gensdarmes of the Guard, led by their colonel-in-chief General Epinoy


Red with yellow (gold for officers of course) turnbacks.  Bays, except the trumpeter on a grey.

Next in precedence, the Regiment St. Laurent. 


Finally, Regiment St. Urbain.


Yes, they are "Saint Urbain's Horsemen" -- I never could resist a bad pun.  And yes, St. Laurent ("La Main") is also a Montreal street.

I also really like their commander, who is from one of Pendraken's commander's singles.

Bravantois Artillery

The senior engineer inspects Batteries Gagnon and Tremblay.


Gunners often shed coats and hats, showing their red waistcoats and  breeches.

All artillery wear a dark blue coat with yellow cuffs; hat trim is white.

The Duke of Bravant

Bravant is the most French influenced of the imagined enlightenment states.  It also, at this moment, has the strongest army.

 Here the duke (Francois III)  himself inspects the drill  of the Lachine regiment.



The Lachine uniform is in the French style, with a coat of unbleached wool, and pale blue turnbacks, yellow trim on the tricorns.
