I like how the dragoons are shaping up!

With pictures like that, necromancers must be on the side of the angels!

Good photos and excellent painting!

Photos!

Just wondering, in which armies did cuirassiers wear the cuirass under the coat? The French, maybe some British regiments, possibly some Dutch and Germans. I believe the Saxons did, but that may be later in the period. Catalans surviving to 1713 did not, but I don't know about any of the Italian tr...

1) Don't forget the mandatory taunting and propaganda phases!

2) Having different players fight and move the men on the maps is prolly a plus.

I don't have the troops to fight, but I can certainly look at some maps and put somebody in a sticky wicket!

Yup, already snagged it.

Now I just need a clone to dive into the lead and plastic pile and paint!

I am priming figures for a general command stand for my Sassanid Persians, and two of the horses I have available to use have beautifully sculpted flowers on the horse barding, and they look like the thistles on Scottish flags and emblems.

Since they served in the Army of Flanders, you should! They fit your theme.

It may well have come down to the classic cavalry decider. He with the last reserve wins.

Guys, Do you think that the French were disadvataged in Flanders by not having armoured cavalry (apart from a number of Bavarian squadrons?) in their battles against the Allies? Theo In a word, not really. What mattered most for heavy cavalry was horseflesh and discipline. Armor was an incremental ...

Rob, In wargaming terms, then, will this mean it is fine for me to have 'brigades' made up of 2x2 battalion regiments - for the easthetics of having lots of different flags and regiments in the field! Best Wishes Theo Anything you want, really. Brigades were often 4 battalions, but 3-6 are plausibl...

Splendid! Though I'm thinking less Jacobite and more French.

Will you have a charging command pack to go with them?
