Hello forum, happy New Year. A few questions maybe someone can help me out with in regards to battalion formations in the Grand Alliance and WSS period. In the WSS British Regiments had three ranks as oppose to the French who used five or four ranks depending on their battalion CO. For the LoA perio...

Thanks for the links Quindia.

How is your ECW project going. Have you tried using a form of ULB rules in game play?

cheers,

Hello Ianb and Quindia,

I am not familiar with MDF and Litko, what type of material are they?

Thanks,

Ed

In ULB rules we have the measurements of length and width for bases but how thick should the bases be?

Has anybody try using wood for bases?

I notice that you have pikemen in your center bases and you banners are flush to the left and right ...

Barry, Tincey in his Perface state's that the original proposal for the book was "Sedgemoor, Marlborough's first command". I have found that when praise is justified he gives it to Marlborough, James II, Monmouth and Feversham, and he also points out mistakes and errors made by them during the campa...

In it he covers a "friendly fire" incident on the Royalist left flank by Kirke's Regiment on the Roy...

Hello forum, I am currently reading Chandler's "Blenheim Preparation". Although there is a chapter on artillery, "The Guns", he talks more about the movement, cost and organization and break down of trains. How effective was artillery in this period when taking part in field engagements? Can it be c...

Thanks for the insight Barry.

I can see where Marlborough's big four have been done to death. I also like that pike and shot combo.

cheers,

Hello Barry and other forum members, When you say that Front Rank are bigger, do you mean height wise or thickness. What I have to decide is either to go with Front Rank or Dixon. Dixon has the advantage because there is a store here in Canada I can order them from. If I went with Front Rank I would...
