That actually works out pretty well and looks really nice besides. However,
unless you're talking about field armies, Prussian soldiers are kind of
useless...Hessians, maybe, but not Prussians. I've always considered the
blue Imperials to be French; this is reinforced by the fleur-de-lis on the
flags, a symbol that no other nation used with such prominence.
