The Warfare Grand Alliance line is fine for either side. If you are a real purist, you might do some head swaps with Swedes in karpus, still using the Grand Alliance bodies.

My personal apologies for the LRS site being down for so long. I will not bore you with the details. We are now back up and running; however, the site is now found at leroisoleilminiatures.co.
