HaT 1:72 Austrian Landwehr 8233

The Austrian Landwehr were a sort of conscript militia first raised in 1808 to provide garrisons and internal security, thus releasing full-time soldiers for duty on campaign. Despite this limited objective in the following year some were used in the field army (including at Wagram), with predictably poor results. Following the defeats of 1809 the Landwehr were disbanded, but when the struggle with Napoleon was resumed in 1813 they were reformed, and this time each battalion was paired with a line regiment, acting as a reserve and depot.
