Re: bavarian lieb guard

I'm not sure, to be completely honest with you. According to a booklet published in the 1990s by John Wilson, the NCOs and musicians were wearing facing-coloured coats with blue cuffs, whilst according to an Editions Brokaw pamphlet (1986), the uniform historian Wagner has NCOs, musicians AND office...

Building into a very nice army there, GF.

Re: Saxon uniforms in NYW?

Small addition to Dan's information's - The Boarspear was not only used by the Saxons but also by the Electorate of Brandenburg (Prussia) for the same reasons - give the Foot Soldiers some protection against Cavalry by building Chevaux de Fris after removing the Pikes. I believe that the Bavarians ...

Re: Saxon uniforms in NYW?

I'm slightly confused - the information I had on the Saxon infantry (from Dan's old "Scanian Wars" website, IIRC) was that each musketeer company had a section (probably not called that, just my term for it) of grenadiers and that these were converged into a single company just prior to action. Was ...

Re: (WANTED) Single North Star 1672 officer figure

Thanks, I'm happy to deal with the postage. I take it that PayPal F&F is acceptable from your sales pitch(es)? Just out of interest, do you know which figure it will be yet? Unfortunately, there are some northern buddies I'll be seeing at Warfare, but the only show where they could pick up from you ...
