Re: Opponents for British Tangiers Garrison 1660-1684

Belated HNY to all following this thread! Post the Festive Season, my Tangier's mini campaign is getting up a head of steam for playing around Easter time this year: I have finished reading several (new to me) sources, in addition to the Helion book and the extracts from the History of the British S...

Re: Opponents for British Tangiers Garrison 1660-1684

Just found that Ray Rousell's "Don't Throw a 1" was the source of Teviot's ill fated sortie onto Jews Hill/Mount - more at https://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/2016/06/broadside-2016-donnybrook-teviots-last.html. Looking for an OOB for this scenario please (realise it was done back in 2016 for Donnybro...

Re: Opponents for British Tangiers Garrison 1660-1684

Re: WSS Saxon flags

Thanks - Warfare and the Maverick site have good representations of GNW and WSS flags, mostly derived from the plates in Dan Schorr's work. However, I am trying to find pre-1700 info i.e. Siege of Vienna. There are some flags that seem to be from that earlier period (as Dan mentions used a field in ...

Re: WSS Saxon flags

I realise this thread is more than a decade old and Dan passed away some years ago, plus all the WayBack and other links to his old NorthernWars website also no longer seem to work.

Re: Opponents for British Tangiers Garrison 1660-1684

Thanks - a quick Google search reveals many options - any guidance on what you use (i.e. nib/brush size) and where you source. TIA

My good gaming friend Ray Boyles offered to "tidy-up the white edges" of my flags and he did an awesome job; extra photo's added at the Flickr page here https://www.flickr.com/photos/195591721 ... 0298767774.

Re: Opponents for British Tangiers Garrison 1660-1684

After further research and discussions with Stuart @ Maverick Flags, I commissioned some variants of his Mahdist range and some new flags which arrived earlier today. I hope to get them added to the units over this long Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend; and will post some photos. David (B)
