OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

I don't have a copy but IIRC Faulkner in his book on Ramillies states four battalions of Dutch Guards. The SA Miniatures article on the battle also states four battalions. Perhaps three Blue Guards battalions along with a supporting fourth?
Still, for a wargames army four battalions of Dutch Blue Guards crossingthe table would get the blood up.
