@wolfch If I recall, at the wargaming scale the difference would be the peak on the cap; the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders didn’t have one…though that may have only been at Waterloo. In reality, it would be the taping around the buttons and the organisation of the buttons themselves. There’s actually only a handful of facing colours in the army at this point with any units with blue being ‘Royal’ regiments. It’s going way back into my uniform knowledge, but the colours are blue, red (I know that sounds weird but true), green, white, black, buff (a sort of beige colour), and I think one purple regiment. The taping around the buttons has different colours threads in various organisations along with the actual designs of them. It’s interesting, if you enjoy that minutiae, but at wargaming scale kind of irrelevant.
