Well its a new year so time for a new project. I had never thought about this period until a friend mentioned it. He already has a pile of French to paint and asked if Id be interested in doing the grand alliance. Show me some pretty pictures I said and i will be convinced, a quick email later and I was already planning what i would be getting. That was back in March and little progress has been made apart from the purchasing of figures as I wanted to focus on my cold war stuff. Now i have broken the back of that I can start work on this.
We will be using Beneth the Lily Banners rules. I have read through these rules a few times and it looks to be a good set. Im looking forward to playing a game once we have a few regiments painted up.
I will be getting a mixture of Dutch, English, Scots, Danish. Each regiment is a standard size of 18 figures for infantry, 6 for a squadron of cavalry. They will be based on steel bases that I have got from Ian Carbutt. Excellent quality and great service but not postie friendly as they weigh a ton !
