Darth Louis' Death Star

I recall that my lower jaw narrowly missed wrecking the entire table as it dropped onto the floor. For the benefit of those not present a masked 4 gun model position battery unmasked itself on the Dutch right flank as they started getting to grips with the French in the woods on the extreme left fla...

Just to add my own thoughts, I think the game was overwhelmingly a success. It was a huge amount of fun and I feel very good for having played a part. The organisation was superb. As for the movement, we could always resolve it by dressing up 500 or so guys in Marlburian uniforms, starve them, depri...

Well the paintathon is nearly over. Last coat of varnish drying on the Dutch command and cavalry. Those Frenchies are going to chew an awful lot of canonball before my Dutch guards go anywhere near them, Dave. That is not unless the boss orders me to stick my head into the meat grinder. Seeing as ho...

You could always pop them in a box and post them to Dale. We could divvy up the postage cost between us I'm sure. At the Kirrie club we've got a box and more of trees. However I suppose that's not nearly enough. Living in small box myself in Perth I'm a bit of a lightweight on the scenery front. How...

Aidrian

If you're coming up by train and I can be of any help transporting you up to Kirrie, I'm planning to drive up at 5pm from Perth.

Dutch uniforms & colours

Huzaah. My Sapherson has arrived at long last. If I can be of any help to anybody regarding Dutch info I can now add my name to the list. My first regiment of Dutch horse is Aughrim, the second will be Athlone and I shall do Dale's as Dutch Saxe-Heilburg mainly because I can get colours for these th...

Malplaquet info

Many thanks for the replies Angus and Dave. I've got Charles' book and a cheap second hand Sapherson about the Dutch on order but havn't received them yet. I'm painting the British Cavalry for Dale Smith but he didn't specify which regiment. My difficulty is that I'm itching to get the painting done...

Links to Dutch info

Angus tells me that he's got me down as the Prince of Orange. Does anybody have any links to info on him or indeed his army? Also any links to info on Malburian British Dragoons would be very useful. I'm drawing a blank on my searches and there are surely pages and pages of stuff on him.
