After Fontenoy up to the peace in October 1748 the following changes took place in the States Army.

Cavalry

In 1747 the regiment Rechteren Zeeland was disbanded and amalgamated with the regiment Nassau-la-Leck. In April 1747 a Walloon dragoon regiment Cornabe was raised, but converted into a foot regiment 2 months later already. Also in April 1747 a National dragoon regiment D'Olne was raised, of which I haven't found any other evidence than this.

The Hussar regiment Frangipani was disbanded again in February 1748, but 2 of its companies formed a new commissioned hussar regiment Collignon. This too was disbanded one month later and converted into the first true Dutch hussar regiment, called the `Regiment Huzaren van de Staat'.

So in October 1748 the cavalry was composed as follows:

16 (Heavy) cavalry regiments; 1 guard 15 line
5 dragoon regiments: 1 guard and 4 line
1 hussar regiment
Total: 22 regiments

Infantry

The following regiments were raised between 1745 and 1748:

1745: Van Oyen; National regiment, disbanded again in 1748.

1747: Saksen-Hildburghausen; National regiment, 1 btn. OranjeNassau; German regiment, 2 btns (Wied and Solms) Cornabe; Walloon regiment, 1 btn;. Lillers; Walloon regiment. Drumlanrig; Scots regiment, 2 btns.

1748: Baden-Durlach; National regiment, 1 bats. Brunswijck-Bevern; National regiment. Oranje-Nassau; German regiment, 3rd and 4th bins. (Wartensleben and Kirchberg) Baden-Baden; German regiment, 2 bins. Bude; Swiss regiment, 3 btns., 12 companies Graffenriedt; Swiss regiment, 3 btns., 12 companies Chambrier; Swiss regiment, 3 bins., 12 companies Sturler; Swiss regiment, 3 btns, 12 companies Zwitserse gardes; 2 btns., 8 companies.

As to the regiments Saksen-Hildburghausen and Baden-Durlach, some sources refer to them as German regiments. I prefer to stick however to the Dutch sources.

In May 1748, after hostilities had ceased, the infantry was reorganized. Due to losses, but mainly because of the high number of prisoners of war, many companies/regiments were too much under-. strength. So 13 regiments were disbanded and amalgamated with existing regiments. The disbanded regiments were:

Hoolwerf, Heukelom, Leiningen, Crommelin, Reede van Outshoorn, Kinschot Jr., Raders, Van Voorst, Grotenray, Ysemburg, Swaenenburg, De Braauw, Canisius.

So in October 1748 the infantry was composed as follows:

45 National regiments; 1 guard and 44 line
3 Walloon regiments
4 German regiments
9 Swiss regiments
1 Scottish regiments
Total: 65 regiments

Artillery

In 1747, 4 new companies were raised and in 1748 another one.There wasn't yet any seperate organisation for the fortressartillery.

Miners

In May 1748 miners and sappers were united in a `Regiment Mineurs en Sappeurs'; 4 companies each 150 men all ranks.

Freikorps

There also seem to have been raised several Freikorps, especially during the later years of the war. In several accounts and sources I've come across the following names:

Hordt, Des Martines, Merry and Martinat; all light cavalry - Jarnocsiay Hussars;
Constant Dragoons;
Vial, Gillard, Buhlmann and De Genvry; all composed of both infantry and cavalry;
Lulaing; Swiss jager. - Cornabe freecorps.

I have found diverse reference to their existence, appearance and behaviour. Most probably they were raised and organized like their Austrian counterparts, or perhaps they were even raised by the Austrians themselves. Since they didn't play any significant part in the main actions of the W.A.S. (Except at Rocour), I'll deal with them seperately, once I do have some more complete information than the bit I've gathered up to now. Such troops often add some extra color to a tabletop army.

Subsidy-troops

Although not an integral part of the States Army, they do deserve some attention as often being indespensable for the Dutch.

After Fontenoy the Dutch Republic could gradually dispose of several subsidy troops, the first ones being 6 Bavarian infantry regiments. Although contracted already in 1745, they first saw action at Rocour in 1746. From a pay-list from the States-General of the 

1747-campaign I have the following information referring to foreign troops in Dutch pay:

4 Hessian dragoon squadrons (8 companies);
3 Hessian infantry battalions (each 10 comp);
6 Bavarian infantry battalions. (each 9 comp);
2 Wurzburg infantry battalions (each 9 comp);
2 Hessen-Darmstadt infantry battalions (each 9 comp).

A list of the troops present in the army-camp at Waalwijk in 1748 refers to the following subsidy-troops:

6 Bavarian inf.batt.;
9 Hessen-Kassel inf.batt.;
5 Hessen-Kassel cav.sq.;
18 Hessen-Kassel art.pieces;
2 Hessen-Darmstadt inf.batt.;
6 Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel inf.batt.;
8 Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel art.pieces;
2 Saksen-Gotha inf.batt.; - 1 Saksen-Gotha cav.sq.;
1 Schwartzburg inf.batt.;
1 Waldeck inf.batt.;

By the end of the war in October 1748 the Republic still had in pay the following foreign troops:

12 German infantry regiments;
1 German dragoon regiment;
4 hussar-regiments.
