Yes, an 8 x 6 feet terrain layout for a Thirty Years War game using my 28mm figures, plus any I can borrow or steal to boost overall numbers. I have it in mind to paint up a couple of extra command stands for that eventuality, so all those uber-dull ECW figures can fight as Imperialists/ Protties. T...

Hi Gary, Did you manage to find any information on the flag for this unit. Also can I ask where did you find the uniform information for them. My web searches told me grey coats and blue facings (from a wargamers site) but I'd rather know where to look for the information. John, Sorry for the delay...

I loved the first two and will get the next and future ones. They make me feel like a kid again back in the seventies (cue dreamy-eyed drifting off into the ether.....), with the Wombles 1975 annual (which I still have [cough]) emerging from its wrapping paper as Bohemian Rhapsody dominated the char...

Congrats Dave from Morpeth! I started to offload my Luddite status with my own blog on 13th October, but you have come a lot further than me with what you have so far achieved. If anyone fancies a look: http://geez-spot.blogspot.com Just a few random ramblings and stuff at the moment, but the near f...

John, My available sources are only secondary, but here is what they say for what it is worth. Grant: Armies and Uniforms of the Marlburian Wars vol 1 page 47:- (inf Regt) No 18 Brandenbourg - grey coat (up to 1702 when changed to indigo blue), blue lining, cuffs, waistcoat and breeches, red cravat ...

Vielen Dank!

I left a message in (very poor) German on their guestbook, so hopefully they will understand my query and be able to help.

Thanks again,

Hi all, I am very new to this period and have chosen the War in Ireland as my entry point (I will save my usual Austrian project for later). I am slowly working through various units based around those at the Boyne and have read that the Dutch N-S-O unit was brigaded with the English unit belonging ...

I went to Derby with the express desire to see Walcourt in action and possibly get some info on one particular Dutch flag I am after (Nassau-Saarbrucken-Ottweiler actually) from some of the more learned than I types at the game, but thought you were not there, tucked away as I later discovered you w...
