Hello all
www.regiments.org has a nice page showing some info on the breakdown between the Irish Brigade in the service of France and James II Jacobite Army in exile. See link
http://www.regiments.org/regiments/euro ... ishbde.htm
For the army in exile there are two Dismounted Dragoons Regiments; The King's and The Queen's.
A few questions come to mind Did these two units fight as formed regiments in the campagin in Ireland 1690-91 or were they formed/reformed in France after the Treaty of Limerick from existing units.
It seems that each regiment kept one sqn each in the mounted role. Regiments.org classifies them as 'Horse'. Doesn't point out how many sqn's each regiment has. When I posted this topic on the miniatures page the one response I recieved was that on another webpage ORBat the two units were listed as battalions.
How would you recreate / use these units for ULB: 1) treat them as dismounted dragoons, each regiment with two stands of six figures, or 2) Have each regiment with two stands but one mounted and one dismounted. I guess on the table top you could 'brigade' the two foot stands as a unit and the same with the Horse/mounted Dragoons. May form a nice advance/rear guard.
