Bavarian National Contingent

A very small contingent of one and a half battalions of infantry (the charging figures are Der Kriegspieler, the rest Hinton Hunt) and a squadron of 4 chevauleger. I think I may have a spare Prussian ADC who may get pressed into service as a Bavarian General, if I can find him.

At the moment they are destined to be brigaded with Hesse Darmstadt and Baden units in a generic German formation, once the other battalions have been completed.
