1859/1864 Piedmontese and Sardinians?

[Blaker]

Just wondering what figures would work for the 1859/1864 campaigns for the Piedmontese and Sardinians?

Dave says the later Danes in the frock coats.

For 1866 Sardinians, I would have thought the Austrians in greatcoat would do at a pinch. I thought the Danes wore a kepi rather than a shako.

Source I have says the same - Dark blue Kepi and jacket, Lt Blue trouers, in Frock coat, ACW US regulars ?

Howdy IanS,  ACW US regulars for the Sardinians?

No. Austrian 1866. They wore a shako not a kepi. The new French Imperial Voltigeurs could probably be used as well.

Okay now I am confused 

Sooo, I can use the Austrian 1866 infantry for the Sardinians?

And use the Danes for the Piedmontese?

I am I getting close 

Now what about cavalry?

Just for info, I've split this into a new topic now.

Have sent Blaker some scans from Casali's booklet. If anyone else would like them let me know.
