Does 'The Management' intend to hold another painting competition this winter?

Is the booking form available yet, or where do I express my interest...?

(October weekend)

So the next release of Warfare Miniatures will include a fleeing Meenistur?

Barry, 'Pretender'????


Disappointed in you Sirrah...

Not sure about Ireland, but the Royal Regiment of Scots Dragoons (Grey Dragoons, later Scots Greys) wore Scots blue bonnets at least until 1685.

I know it's a bit early, but I'll be modelling mine in grey coats, blue bonnets and assorted horse colours...

Rising sir, Rising, not 'Rebellion'...

Depending on location, you were safe as long as you didn't change the historical outcome!

...America, the perfect advert for a monarchy!

(with the notable exception of Mr Obama)


Sorry guys, couldn't resist it...

While I accept that the Dutch would have had severe difficulty in taking on the might of France, I would have thought that they could easily have crossed the Channel with an invasion force... I'm sure there would have been enough disaffected factions in England that there would have been some suppor...

Mr Wallace, I can assure you that I have never looked to Hollywood for my history!

Just because a significant number of Scots were opposed to James did NOT remove the fact that he was the anointed King and therefore they owed allegiance.

I think I'm going to use a bit of historical license and have my unit painted in pre-1685 colours:

grey coats; white facings; blue bonnets!

Will be a marked difference on the gaming table from the massed ranks of red-coated horse of other players...

...and even better, Stuart Reid in his 'The Last Scots Army, 1661 - 1714' gives the Scottish establishment as having fur caps for Grenadiers, artillery and possibly the Scots Fusiliers.

Jacobite of course...! Not only was James the hereditary monarch, but as a Scot I have to support the Stuarts. As someone brought up in the Scottish West Coast traditions, it never failed to amaze me how many 'real Scots' celebrated the Battle of the Boyne, even though it was a defeat of the Scottis...

Thanks Ray, was aware of the Graham crest but wondered if he had a different crest as Viscount Dundee?

Will be printing off my Graham standard tomorrow... No need for a regimental colour as this will simply be a personal standard for Dundee as a Brigade commander.
