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... There were at least 27 sqns and possibly as ...

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: Grenadiers of the Kurköln Wildenstein
Absolutely lovely, as always! :clappy: I've noticed that bearskins that we would think of as black (French, Austrian, etc) are often referred to as 'brown' in sources. This could mean that they were actually visibly brown, or it could mean that they were a very dark shade of brown that appeared blac...

Re: 2nd Prussian Garrison regiment, spencer Smiths classics.
Ace! Yeah, I do like a Garrison Regiment. I've only got one, but it's a quick and easy way to expand the army!
