I have another ten models of the Dutch Blue Guard finished on my way to completing another unit.
I have a long range plan for my collection. After that I have Brandenburg and Nassau-Saarbrucken-Ottweiler for the Dutch and De la Meloniere, Caillemotte, Cambone for a Huguenot brigade.
That will give me twelve battalions for my Williamites. Most of my games at home are on a 4x6' or 4x8' table so that's all I can reasonably expect to cram on one side of the table. Once the horse are available from Warfare I'll be adding a modest brigade of two or three regiments. A few units of artillery, some grenadiers, and some dragoons will give me a very respectable army for most of the games I can run at home.
For the Jacobites I am planning on 2 battalions of Irish Foot Guard, Clanrickarde, Antrim, and 2 battalions of de Boisseleau. The horse will be much more numerous - five or six regiments plus two or three regiments of dragoons. I'm also planning on a couple of battalions of pike armed Irish militia.
Many of my units, especially among the cavalry, will be able to fight on either side with a flag swap so I should have lots of flexibility...
