King's carbine had some really nice ideas (and drawings). I doubt if the 1672 range is a big seller for North Star. Perhaps if they were marketed as government troops in their pirate range they would sell better. Unless you know what you are looking for sometimes finding stuff on the North Star site...
I would add: *Generic musketeer based on the Swiss musketeer *as above, but without apostles (see Osprey Louis XIV French Garde, plate B1) *Generic pikemen based on the Swiss pikemen, especially one in hat & basic corselet (without sash). All current pikemen, officers, and sergeants are in a common ...
Hall also says: "While the Dutch began issuing the flintlock relatively early it would appear to have first been used along with the belt of cartridges or “12 apostles” rather than the typical cartridge pouch. The picture of Dutch infantry of 1688 referred to above shows all the men with cartridge p...
Two of our favorite authors seem to give contradictory opinions of Dutch equipment at the beginning of the Nine Years War: CS Grant (Pike to Shot, p126) "The infantry still wore bandoliers and sword suspended from a shoulder belt... The coat was full, untailored at the waist and worn open to show a ...
These images from the NYPL show Dutch musketeers in helmet & cassock, with musket rest. They are dated 1670. If this is correct the equipment seems old fashioned. http://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=91633&t=w http://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=91611&t=w http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dg...
From: DANISH UNIFORMS, COLOURS AND STANDARDS 1675-1679, Olaf Hasselager and Torstein Snorrason "Grenadiers: Appear to have been uniformed differently from the rest of the regiment, at least initially, usually in gray coats faced red or blue. They seem to have worn the normal hat, but they could also...
Just a note that Warlord Games sells a pack of swinefeathers: http://www.warlordgames.com/us-store/pike-shotte/pike-shotte-armoury/swine-feather-musket-rests.html And that Foundry in their TYW range sells two packs of musketeers in "Swedish coat" with rest that can probably be turned into swinefeath...
OR?: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--UQa_ULpRWM/TxKzQoMhp-I/AAAAAAAAAi8/5NJOoartQ_M/s1600/Saxon+infantry+1680s+-1.jpg In his list of Swedish regiments Hoglund mentions some wearing karpus, although uniform changes were frequent so these may have been an option. The eastern Eurpoean discussion could becom...
I love your ideas. I am a big fan of figures standing casually. They seem to be the easiest to paint. This is a very under rated period, say 1665-1685. The Scanian War book mentions karpus worn by Swedes, but is not specific. The Scanian War should be a good period for wargaming because of the small...
