El Ejercito Magnifico, Regimental Guide (4)

Today we turn our attention to the pride of the Amarillo, the Guardia Real. Originally the regiment was three battalions strong; more recently it has been reorganized, the grenadiers of the original battalions being converged to form a fourth battalion, the Granadaros Real.

The regiment's battle record is curiously cursory, due in part (it is said) to the extraordinary expense of its uniforms. The proprietor of the regiment is traditionally the High King himself, and the expenses of the regiment are drawn from the household budget.
Both the Leibfahne (in this case, the royal
banner of Casa de Yayubetja) and the Regimentsfahne of the First Battalion are included.

Today's entry is Regimiento linea no 2, La Lutefisque. This is one of the oldest regiments of the Amarillo. Founded by a minor don, Esteban de la Pesca, prior to the coming of the Yayubetja to Scandalusia, such a regiment would normally be found among the Blanco. However, de la Pesca was among the first to cast his lot with the Yayubetja, and this (coupled with the bulldog courage of the regiment) accorded it a place among the Amarillo.

Although La Lutefisque no longer enjoys the reputation it earned in the Guerra del Union, it still is regarded as a solid regiment, particularly on the defense.

Depicted here are the line infantry and grenadier uniforms, along with the Leibfahne and Regimentsfahne.

Being a brief overview of the regiments in the service of La Union Real, that shall be portrayed here from time to time (in a haphazard manner most befitting La Union Real)

Regimiento linea no 1 (de la Pierna-Roja)

Regimiento de la Pierna-Roja is representative of the line infantry of the Amarillo. First raised in 1659, the regiment has served competently in most of Scandalusia's wars and was distinguished for its stand with the Guards regiments, with which it was brigaded in the Scandalusian Expeditionary Corps, in the First Crimenea campaign of 1722. The current colonel-proprietor of the regiment is Alejandro de la Pierna-Roja, who dressed the regiment in the traditional red trousers associated with his family.

The regiment is typically brigaded with the Guardia Real and deploys in the first line, just to the left of the famous Guards. Shown above, along with typical musketeer and grenadier uniforms, is the regimental color.
