Re: Information required - Bourke's Fusileers

Thanks all, I was going to be conservative. Grey coat with grey or white cuffs. Grey trousers, a second option was all red. Seeing the rule book it out soon and I have a pre order I'll wait to see what's in it

Thanks again

Re: Composition of the English/Scots and Jacobite Regiments

Hi No just a gut feeling. I've read several accounts of the battle and all make mention of the failure to fit the plug bayonets in time as the root cause of the loss. No mention was ever made of pikes and I would have thought pikemen in the unit would have offered some resistence. For regiments that...

Re: Composition of the English/Scots and Jacobite Regiments

Hi Thanks again. I was thinking perhaps the Dutch Scots brigade had no pikes. It's only an assumption on my part but based on how easliy they folded at Killiecrankie. It may also explain why the newly raised units (Levan's I think) resisted longer than the left (just a thought) Thanks all for you as...

Composition of the English/Scots and Jacobite Regiments

Hi I'm hoping someone with greater knowledge that I can make sure I'm on the right track with the composition of various regiments. I'm trying to work out which units would be armed with flintlocks, matchlocks, pike only or standard ECW style Pike/musket mix. I'm thinking: * (pikes) means pikes on a...

Re: NEERWINDEN FRENCH FLAGS FROM QUINDIA & WARFARE
