Finally, having time beccause of pandemia, I could use it to finish the 2nd Battalion of the Monferrato Regiment at the Battle of Turin, 7 September 1706.
This unit, along with the other Battalion of the Regiment stayed in Turin to defend it from the French. At the end of the battle, this unit, together with others made a sortie from the walls of Turin attacking the French at the back.
In the picture above the unit (around 500 papersoldiers on 12 companies whose 1 of grenadiers) are firing on the French
Sadly, (well I am Piedmontese and these are my men!) got a cannon explosion just in the very center of the unit, right behind the two flags and in fron of the poor young drummers. The Savoyard/Piedmontese will win in any way.
The French are really trying to stop their advance and 3 new shots just came in the middle of the stubborn Piedmontese unit that - next picture - at its turn shoots strongly against the fugitive French units
PIEMONT 'D FER!
