Re: looking for information on the battle of Hopton Heath

Chas

There's a good article in the March 2006 issue of Wargames Illustrated magazine (No. 221) written by David Bickley, describing the battle, forces and numbers involved, and suggestions for wargaming it using Warhammer ECW rules.

Let me know if you can't access a copy.

Re: La Journee, Battle of Verneuil Blog UPDATED 14TH mARCH

My first thought (aside from fantastic painting) was "Where's the chap on the left off to?"

But then the penny dropped. So Darrell - have I got this right? The basing includes both sides in melee?

No worries Günter, you were very helpful.

Re-enactors (or at least the better ones…) make good painting guides for general appearance and colours but I would be a bit cauti...
