Hi All,

Does anyone know what the danish Livregimentet regimental and company standards looked like?

Mark

Thanks Ray, I'd love to be able to help, but my technical knowhow is pre-pike and shot. I know how a bow works, if that helps?

Thank Grenadier, It really is very interesting and that's why I'm trying to model it correctly on the games table. I'm sure it was these nuances that made a huge difference in battles and thus should be represented in some way.

Mark

Thanks very much Ray, I've sent you a message with my email address.

and are the uniforms and flags correct for the Prussians?

Hi Graf Bretlach, Many thanks for the input. This was closer to my understanding of how these formations worked on the battlefield at this time and it does correspond to the timing of the change to linear tactics. I suppose the real question for the commander was were to place the 2nd line. Close en...

Hi Ray, Here are the uniforms & flags for the Brandenburger's/Prussians on the war office website. http://www.thewaroffice.co.uk/Blenheim/Images/Prince%20Leopold/Canitz%20Brigade.jpg http://www.thewaroffice.co.uk/Blenheim/Images/Prince%20Leopold/Finck's%20Brigade.jpg Would be good to get your feedba...

Hi Ray, I see your Royal Irish regiment has a blue & red st Patrick's cross rather than the usual white & red. Is this based on specific information? I hope you do not mind, but I'm planning to add some more battalions to my army based on your excellent regiments, namely the Royal Irish & Royal Welc...

I wonder if chequerboard formations were required to move lines through one another that far from the enemy or if the battalions in continuos line but in marching order (so not drawn up so close together) could interpenetrate through each other in another way. Do you think this is possible or probab...

Thanks to you both again for the valuable input. I guess having these gaps in Rowe's lines would allow the Hessians to fire at the Gendarmes! I'm going to develop the rules to allow for this interpretation and others. The rules are from 1590 to the end of the great northern war and I'm going to make...

Thanks for the feedback Ray & Brian. Brian that essay is an excellent source. Another question is that when the lines of foot were interpenetrating one another at Blenheim, was this done by battalions passing through gaps between battalions, or did battalions pass through another, by opening up gap ...

Hi There,

Does anyone know what the gaps were between battalions and squadrons during the NYW & WSS?

e.g.

Battalion.......Battalion.......Battalion

or

Squadron......Squadron.......Squadron

Many Thanks,

Mark

Hopefully these should be of use http://www.thewaroffice.co.uk/Blenheim/Images/Blenheim%20Column/St.%20Paul's%20Brigade.jpg http://www.thewaroffice.co.uk/Blenheim/Images/W%FCrttemberg-Neuenstadt/Rantzau's%20Brigade.jpg https://www.baccus6mm.com/includes/howto/gnw_wss/hannover/infantry_hannover.inc.p...

Thanks for the feedback guys!

They all look fantastic Ray! I really love the Hessian uniforms, they will look great on the table interspaced with the British brigades!

I'm very jealous!

Cant wait to see the rest!
