Hi Barry, I had the priviledge, as a member of the ECWS in 1985, to take part in certain Monmouth 300th celebrations. Part of the march that took place in Glastonbury and the recreation of Sedgemoor at that years Bath and West Show, I was part of Dumbartons Foot. I also remember that 1970's TV serie...

Should have added this. If you move on slightly in time from Monmouth's failed attempt to wrest the throne from James Stuart, you arrive at the so called 'Glorious Revolution' ( allthough what was Glorious or Revolutionary about it has and is open to discussion) the ultimate in 'What ifs', if James ...

Hi, The gallery about the battle of Sedgemoor is great. It is a period of history that enthralls me, the whole idea about what might have been if Monmouth had won is fascinating. I believe that the OB for this scrap was as follows, if I'm wrong please put me straight: James' army was commanded by th...

Hi Theo,
Just read your message about the article in 'the Spanish mag'. I don't know which one you mean, hopefully you can enlighten me further.

Cheers, Andy.

Hi, John. Thanks, I have some of Partizans publications. They are great, I can't praise their works enough. I am more or less sure of the regiments which were present at Lansdowne, but I hoped that someone might have gleaned a detail or two that they hadn't. IanB. Likewise thanks, any information wo...

Hi, My long term interest, and by long term I mean since the mid-seventies when the major producers of wargame figures were Hinchclife and Minifigs, has and always will be the ECW. I've lost count of the times I've started a new army, Royalist or Parliamentarian. Well, guess what I've started again,...

:mrgreen: Hi Barry, I find myself strangely drawn to your Augsburg figures in the gallery, given the fact that you are an extremely busy person (good creep, eh). :lol: I and no doubt many others would be pleased to see you post a 'How I Paint my Figures' site. As there are doubtless many out there w...

Hi all, 1. The ULB rules are great. Hoever in several places you state that smaller scraps, such as Sedgemoor, are better dealt with using '1644' rules, no longer available, so would it be posible to see s set of rules designed to reflect Pike and Shott/ECW/Restration Wars (I've tried Warhammer ECW ...

Hi Barry,
Just to let you know I got a copy of the Stephen Danes book from Caliver Books as it is published by Partisan.

Cheers and keep the good work coming, Andy

Hi, Just thought I'd throw in my few pennies worth on the subject of 'Reiver Figures' They are very chunky, detail really stands out, making them great for painting, and as a result nice figures can be produced. As with 'all' figure manufacturers there are bound to be a few odd looking ones. My advi...

Hi Barry, Got the ULB link, this time I've put the e-mail safe in my folder as well as adding the site to my favourites, so no more losing them (I hope!). As a matter of information have you tried the 'Lace Wars Scenarios - The Wars of the Grand Alliance - Charles Fort 1680 - Ath 1697' by Stephen Da...

Thanks Barry,
That is just what I needed to be going on with

Cheers, Andy

Thanks Barry, All advice greatfully accepted. The idea of doing a reference list is a good idea, and may help stop 'repeat' questions like mine. I am now busy painting troops to represent the Anglo-Scottish Brigade that seved in the Augsburg Alliance (having persuaded myself that it is this and not ...

Hi, I think this question has been posed before, but could you please suggest any good books dealing with this period. I have an old copy (1990) of the Sapherson book 'The Dutch Army of William III', are the descriptions of flags, uniforms etc still valid, or are they outdated? I am, as has been sai...
