Hi; are there any Jacobite army lists available for the 1689-1719 risings?
Cheers
Andy

Hi, Andy.
Is there a particular battle or campaign you are interested in? Your question covers a lot of ground and I don't think a single list will cover it...

Mainly keen on Killiecrankie and Dunkeld for now. Might well move on to Sheriffmuir and Glenshiel in the future. Have also been looking at Cromdale (I live about an hour from the battlefield) but wonder if it has much to offer in terms of gaming possibilities; appears mainly to have been a rout.
BLB obviously includes a 'government' army for 1689/90, but no sign of a Jacobite one online (at least when I've searched for one).
Cheers
Andy

Get a copy of I Met the Devil and Dundee by Stuart Reid... Great book on Killiecrankie and covers all of the units involved. Killiecrankie is a great battle to model wargames forces on as it is small enough to collect all of the units involved and just large enough to use BLB!

Have you seen the black powder / pike and shoote book on the Jacobites. Not only are there Jacobites but there is a mini campaign.

John Baynes has a fairly detailed OB for the Jacobites in 1715 in his study of that Rising.
