Looks good Barry!
It's amazing what's out there still to be found by us wargamers.
I wonder how easy it would be to make masks for the figures?
We need to get background music for our next games.

More on the Beast of Gevaudan from Carl deRoos

Looks great.. must find this movie.

Also, he has infomred me that one of the most prominent Bokkenrijders who was known as Josef Kirchhoff's(Apparently an Austrian Army Surgeon around the time of the SYW) name actually translates in local Limburg dialect to Kerkhof which means Cemetery!!!! The Occult links grow!

Could be worse, he could have been called Dr. De'ath :lol:
