Aughrim

Post by lenin » Fri Jun 10, 2005 11:22 pm

Hi,
I've got Stephen Danes' 'Lace Wars Scenarios' book 1, it gives the order of battle for Aughrim 1691 but does not give a list of participating regiments, just stating (for example) Mackey with three units of English foot. Could someone give me a more detailed OB, one that covers both sides?

Cheers, Andy.

Guys,

I have a FULL orbat for Aughrim somewhere. It not only has the regiments in detail but also their deployment in relation to each other. I'll need a little while to find it and I'm off travelling in Asia this week and won't be back until Monday next.
