I like the idea of a skirmish set for the period. I've been on a skirmish kick for quite a while now, and it will absolutely help folks who don't have the resources to raise even the modest-sized armies of the period. A BLB sized regiment would be a company or a troop, so all anybody would really ne...
Digging through the pile of old lead, I found two 12/14 figure battalions of 25mm Imperialist Miniatures British - well loved, but in desperate need of updating. How well do other figure ranges mix with Imperialist? I was thinking of purchasing some additional command figures (preferably ones with c...

No. I mean the Museu Virtual de al Guerra de Succesio , which is a collaboration of Bosch Gimpera Foundation and the DIDPATRI Research Unit, both belonging to Barcelona University.

Theoretically, British blues were darker, with the blue used on royal regiments and light cavalry supposed to be almost black.

They fought dismounted at both the Schellenberg and in support of the allied foot in the final stages of the action surrounding Blenheim village. Casualties received at Schellenberg - 1 Officer & 7 Troopers killed, ...
Is that book strength, or is it an actual head count close to the day of battle? Similarly, where was the 2nd Squadron of the Regiment? Did it not exist, or was it on detached service somewhere? My inclination would be to paint up a second squadron. That way, you've got the whole regiment at "book" ...
Does this mean we can expect price decreases across the board as well?
When you pay the same for 6 Foundry that you do for 10 Copplestone, or half the price for the same number when buying Perry or Artizan, then there's a serious disincentive to purchase Foundry anywhere but ebay.
