Back to the Lily Banners

After the trip to Dumfries I got the 1690s bug again. But what to paint, after all I'd very much exhausted the Huguenots. Fortunately Mr Hilton of League of Augsburg fame had furnished me with a number of options over the two days of the engagement.

So, simply copying the order of battle from that weekend I have started on the Danish regiment Funen, which are in a fetching green; makes a change from the drab grey of my other troops.

 

These troops are in sabot bases so they can be used for Donnybrook too.

Claymore 2015

Last weekend I had the pleasure to take part in the League of Augsburg demonstration game at Claymore 2015.

It was a Donnybrook game played out on some fabulous wintry terrain by Barry Hilton.

I commanded the Swedes and although my musketry rolls made the Russian contingent think they were facing Gatling guns, I naturally managed to get the Swedish commander killed.

Well you try doing a three point turn in a sled in front of a horde of charging Cossacks!

Donnybrook Huguenots

If something worth doing then you can trust me to do it to death! Only a mere 15 months or so after purchasing the rules I have finally got round to painting up some minis for Donnybrook. Naturally they're my favourite French Protestant exiles.

 

 

The intention is to have a squad of dismounted cavalry, some grenadiers and a few infantry from each of the foot regiments.

 

 

There may even be some special rules for these chaps to reflect their character. I'm thinking more Dumas than anything close to reality.

 

 

Of course they'll need some opposition.
