Possible Scenario - Sheriffmuir 1715 - Front Rank Figures

Post by Captain of Dragoons » Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:32 am

I have found thorough links on www.regiments.org a ORBAT and Map of the Battle of Sheriffmuir. Interesting scenario where we have some of Marlborough's veterans vrs Scottish Jacobites.

:!: I wonder if the British Army was made up of figures of Front Rank would their 1745 Highlanders be able to be passed off as 1715?

here is the link for the Orbat and Map

here is the list of regiments (Crown forces) from www.regiments.org
D2 D3 D4 D6 D7 and F3 F8 F11 F14 F16 F17 F21 F25 F36

And here are two brief descriptions of the battle

1715 highlanders are a good bit different from those of 30 years later. The good news is that Reiver castings will be releasing their 1715 range at Salute which will cover the Sherrifmuir campaign.
