League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

I am planning to build in miniature the armies of both sides at the Battle of the Boyne.
I need information on the strengths of the Jacobite foot regiments present, and their shot to pike ratios.
Can anyone supply this information or links to on-line sources?

pretty sure ray had an artical on the jacobite pike to shot ratios on his site.

What is the address of Ray's site?

not sure but he, Ray that is, posts enough pictures of his figures here & they all have the URL with them so i would suggest looking there for a start. Barry is also researching this for a supplement which is due out Easter so may also being a helpful chap help.

ray post's as yar68 .so there is a link to his web page with his post's.

Has anyone got a simple list that they can share? I am sure that many members have researched the subject before.

there is one on ray's blog.

The info may be there somewhere on Ray's blog, but can anyone just provide a straight-forward summary or list? E.g. Antrim's 3 shot to 1 pike, or an overall ratio for the army.

go to ray's site type in jacobite unit formations/ratios for blb2 taht will give you all the information you need .

Thank you - I have found it at Ray's blog.
Looks like the figures in the Osprey book. I will re-present it here once I have sorted it.
I read somewhere that the Jacobites in Ireland received a large consignment of French coats (presumably white/grey) and muskets (matchlock or flintlock?) before the Boyne. Is that right?

It is the list from the Boyne Osprey but I've put a ratio to their figures. Here's a link for others

just to add my ten pence worth not all jacobite regiment's had grenadier companies. also not to sure if the grenadier companies actualy wore a grenadier cap . only ever seen two that did . the foot guards and the lord grand priors.

Not seen anything about coats so far, but this is the King James request to Louis for arms, this was October 1689, what was supplied is a bit less will post that another time, but in theory this is what James thought he was short of.

Money - amount not stated
1,000 Barrels of powder with 100lb each with ball & tinder etc
10,000 Grenades (seems a lot?)
12,000 Muskets (think he got 7,000)
3,000 Firelocks
13,000 Bandoliers
Train of artillery with officers
Surgeons and Armourers
Bridging materials
Harness

Both my Boyne and Aughrim books should contain a summary of what was shipped. Majority of the Jacobite foot wouldn't have had grenadier companies per se - most of the weapons being reserved for defensive purposes in any event.
