Hi all - just a quickie
I was wondering if there was any consensus/ideas/suggestions on the designs of regimental colours for the English/Scots regiments serving at Landen (Neerwinden) in 1693?
I've got one or two sources - the Osprey book somewhere, (all our stuff has been in storage), and I picked up a copy of the 'History of the Uniforms of the British Army Vol.1" by Cecil C.P. Lawson, some months ago in a local bookshop (as you do...
), which has details for colours for most of the older establishment regiments from between 1685-1687ish.
However, I wondered if these colours would still be suitable - if there was much change in design/colonels etc in the intervening 8 years or so, to Landen. I want to build up 'British' forces - ie. maybe 6 or so English and Scots regiments, for 'what if' engagements based around that particular campaign.
Any help/advice will be most gratefully accepted - and yes, I've STILL got to get in touch with Wargames Illustrated about that Mark Allen article CD, if that's going to help me any way - it's on my to do list
Cheers
Andy
