great looking game . must admit really love johns flags. Hi Turrabear, A little known fact is that all of the Spanish and Portuguese flags (and quite a few of the French and Huguenot ones too) on the table are by my fair hand, produced using the same technique as John. But thanks for the feedback a...
Hi Jim, Yes we played this game with our set, 'Wild Geese' which we put together in the mid-nineties on the back of a set of ECW/TYW rules that we had been using beforehand. In some of the pictures you can see the hexagon shaped casualty markers that save us space and paperwork used when recording c...
Hi all Here are a few more shots from the second (Sunday) game. The Franco-Spanish won this one as well but with heavy casualties and facing very determined Portuguese horse this time! Well done to Dale on that count. A reminder that 2/3 of the figures used were Ebor Miniatures and we invited Nick W...
Hi All, Thanks for that feedback. It is much appreciated after this much effort in producing the game. Here are a few shots as promised. Interesting to see the various comments on blogs this evening. In one we were considered to be a mediaeval game - must have been the castle model and the wall to w...

Hi chaps I'm looking for help with this unit please. It served in Breton's brigade at the battle alongside three British units; Bowles', Breton's and Portmore's. It is recorded as being comprised of Germans but I suspect they may have been Huguenots. I cannot find details of their uniforms or the ba...
Hi all
Update on Vandals. Now at 22 units completed including a couple of Moorish allied units for good measure.
Hope to get new pictures up on site soon.
Many thanks chaps.
I suspected the uniform facing etc would be difficult Arthur. But cheers anyway.

Hi all Does anyone have the uniform or flag details of the Oleron regiment of foot that fought at Almanza in 1707. I have checked all the usual listings and all I can pick up is the establishment and disbandment dates. Any assistance is much appreciated. :roll: Thanks Tim Whitworth 'Like a stone wal...
