Very, very, nice indeed.

And that goes for your blue guards too from the other thread. Also very very good.

Now excuse me, I'm just off to take a ball-peen hammer to the cavalry I was working on

The Lifeguard will be all of six models on the table, but it would be neat to have them in armor. Hi Clarence, just out of interest, the two Troops of lifeguard and one of Horse Grenadiers seem to have been of an equivalent size to the standard 9 troops of horse.

From the point of view of "the fighting Duke" :lol: La Haye Saint in it's undiminished form proved the lynch-pin of our defense for several hours. The inability of the French to move within 9" of it without charging or assaulting meant that we could effectively block off a large part of the field un...

In the fullest traditions of French feats of arms: "My center gives way, my right retreats; situation excellent. I shall attack." If it hadn't been for those meddling Portuguese...

I'm sure I'll make old Marshall Forwards proud...posthumously.
