Do you have a preference????
Good question
My first choice would have been the Protestants but as I have a Monarch who changed sides - in the clerical view - I should go for the Katholics
I have faith in your decission who I gonna fight against
That sounds like a mercenary who want's to get paid

Gunter, there are of course two distinctly German battalions on the Jacobite side. The Regiment of Zurlauben, commanded by a Switzer I believe was largely full of German prisoners who changed to the side of the French. Zurlauben fought very well in the retreat and are crdited with stopping the enemy pursuit...... How do they sound?

Indeed Gunter the very same and they will be supplemented by the 2nd Battalion plus a few Frenchmen(if you don't mind!

Hi Folks,
I've hopefully uploaded a few of my photos from the excellent display at Partizan.
I may have made a mess of it though as I keep getting error messages saying that the file is too big! Oops!
No it's confirmed I've not been able to load the photos. What a daftie.
I'll e-mail them to Barry instead. I had a great time with you all last weekend, and the quality of the games at partizan was mindblowing.
Thanks,
Andy.

Thanks Edward, the completed units were a combined effort from four of us but mostly by Barry, then Bob helped by AndyT then my small contribution and Ade bringing up the rear. Paint faster that man
As I've said a number of times, the figures are easy and a joy to paint.
Cheers
Dave

Barry,
Have you seen the rules "Maurice" by Sam Mustapha? They have a set of cards and I thought that that would be the ideal way to go with BtlB.
Regards,
Jim
