The 9ème Regiment d'Infanterie Légère, rather unsurprisingly. As to why; they did everything, from saving Napoleon at Marengo, to bayonet charging Austrian hussars during the same campaign.

The Freikorp's infantry. They must have been intimidating in their dark uniforms. I also like the 1st Westphalian Landwher. I must say I like Prussian troops the best. :D

There are many Freicorps, dude. But I think you mean the "von Lützow"!

Horse artillery officer for the british, the combination of pelise and tarleton with the colour scheme is hard to match!

French Carabiniers looked certifiably badass as well!

Don't have a favorite Prussian regiment yet , Prussia didn't do much heroic stuff.

Well in my opinion 1er Grenadiers was the best regiment of that time.

Althalus said the Freikorps on the previous page. :D

Personally I've always loved the Vistula Legion, but that's probably just my Polish nationalism speaking. :P
