Uniform guide for William III's allies during the NYW


I've been playing around with ideas for other units to paint for my Nine Years War army, I've already painted enough English and know what Dutch and Danish units I want to paint. So after seeing some of the lovely painted figures in the Beneath the Lily Banners ruleset, I've turned my attention to some of William's allies. I've made a list from, "The Dutch Army of William III" by C.A Sapherson, of the mainly German units that were either loaned to William or allied to him during the years 1690-96. 
You'll notice that some of the names are repeated, but with different uniform colours, i.e Spaen the first unit on the list, this is because of conflicting info on their uniforms, so the choice is yours, both have white coats, with either green or blue linings.
You'll also notice that there are some gaps in the list, if any of you can help me fill in the blanks I'd appreciate it.
Hope you find the list useful!!!

Gerpines Uniform Colour List 1691

As some of my followers may already know, I've been painting up a 15mm English/Allied army for the Nine Years War, a couple of weeks ago I found the Gerpines list on the Anno Domini 1672 blog, Link, which looks like a photocopy from an old book. So me be the anal nerd I am decided to try and make the list a little more user friendly and I though t I'd share it with you all.
I've colour coded the list for ease, the original layout of the list is in order of how the regiments stood in line on parade, I've changed my list so that all the regiments are in order of their country of origin. You may notice a few question marks, unfortunatly I either couldn't read or guess some of the letters in the original list, so if any of you clever people out there, know what's missing, please let me know and I'll correct the list.
