Thanks for the additional info, sounds like an excellent resource!

If *I* were painting the unit, I'd paint them with green facings, yes. But I would paint the drummer in the livery that Robert Hall provides, so they would be red too, but with drummer's lace (not sure where to put it, but around the cuffs, up and down the sleeves, the edges of the false sleeves if ...

I would be skeptical of the reversed colors on Lee. The reference is to Condray rather than a contemporary source. That's not to say Condray is wrong, but it would be interesting to know if he actually has a contemporary source of just through in the wargamers street knowledge of musicians wearing r...

Last I heard it was to be in book on CD format, 2 volumes.

I have those, but there are gaps.

Thinking about armies in our period and how many different languages must have been present in an army, I wonder, what was the language of command?

Is there a resource giving information about liveries of French families in this period?

My immediate concern is liveries for Gondrin, but a broad resource is what I'm interested in.

I got this from an atrticle by Dr. Olaf ban Nimwegen in the yearbook of the dutch Army Museum Armamentaria, Vol 30 His sources are in the notes, number 11. The article also deals with cavalry tactics, cavalry armour and the switch from matchlck to flintlock. You can find the article HERE Nice artic...

Beautiful!

Tell me more!! :o :D Is this likely to be similar to the previously published uniform books by Robert Hall & others? Cheers, Rohan. I hear that it will be in 2 volumes and we might see one of them ...

I've heard the Olaf van Nimwegen is helping out some with the new Robert Hall book on the Dutch army. Is the Het Staates work available online anywhere? I'd love to have something I could cut and paste into Google translate. Your rampjaar blog is awesome, thanks for putting the work into it and cont...

Nice looking! Whose figures?
