Re: Some SYW Additions: British Cavalry & More Swiss

Well done, mate. We seem to have a taste for the same units. Or is it because you've built every British unit, including the 1st Sanitary Company (aka The "Blowflies")? Cheers! I imagine it's just a case of bagging all the units that were in Germany. :) The only one I haven't got is the 1...

Re: Some SYW Additions: British Cavalry & More Swiss

Those British mounted units look like they could do some serious damage! I've often wondered if the SYW contingent had more cavalry than either Marlborough or Wellington - I suspect that Beaky probably just sneaks it (by a nose!). Found the discussion...

Some SYW Additions: British Cavalry & More Swiss

It's been VERY quiet on the wargaming and painting front for me this year, but I'm catching up on the blog with all the stuff I did last year, starting with some units for the SYW; namely some Regiments of Horse, Dragoon Guards and Dragoons for the British and some Swiss and heavy artillery for the ...

Re: 2nd Prussian Garrison regiment, spencer Smiths classics.
