Steve Cady's paper soldiers

 Steve has been designing Paper soldiers and very good they are too. He says "My paper soldier designs, French infantry regiment La Fère. War of the Polish Succession, 1735."

An ideal solution if you find an obscure period you want to do methinks.

Philipp Franz Freiherrn von Gudenus

 One of the best things about the War of Polish Succession is the pictures by Gudenus. (1710-1783). I don't know anything about him so if any of you can help I will be grateful.

The Battle of Bitonto by Italian battle painter Giovanni Luigi Rocco.

 The Battle of Bitonto (25 May 1734) was a Spanish victory over Austrian forces near Bitonto in the Kingdom of Naples (in southern Italy) in the War of Polish Succession. The battle ended organized Austrian resistance outside a small number of fortresses in the kingdom.

War of Polish Succession figures

 So is this a conflict that no one does figures for? Would you use War of Spanish Succession or War of Austrian Succession? Any sculptors wanting a challenge? Battles of the War of Polish Succession
