All Danish units at Blenheim were in the pay of the Maritime powers (Britain and the Netherlands) ... the Danish units in Imperial Service were in Italy and...
Thanks Iain. That is a great help. If I understand you correctly, your ORBAT for Blenheim gives individual battalions (2/Prince George) etc. which aren't...
Hi Just to let you know that I have just listed a number of the Osprey 'Fortress' titles for Samurai and Renaissance on EBay. All are brand new and all listed...
Hello, I am selling some of my 15mm Renaissance armies. Actually, this is enough to make two armies. They have never been used, and half of them were never...
Hello, I would like to know more about these periods with their military operations: - Franco-Spanish war 1648-59 - Austrian-Ottoman war 1661-64 - Polish...

Iain I have a friend who is manufacturing the old Les Higgins 20mm range of Marlburians. The range is pretty vanilla and is mainly standard hat men and...
Does anybody have any of the Pendraken 28mm Elizabethan range? If so what are they like? How would they match is size wise to the Vendal range? Thanks in...
Sizewise they are slightly larger than Vendel but should fit in well - they are certainly worth investigating to see if you like the style but I think that...
Thanks for your help Iain. The Danish boys are under the brush as I type. Cheers Neil ... -- Reinforcements by Post (TM) miniatures painting service ...

My source is CA Sapherson's 1699-1715 "The Danish Army". This tells me the grenadiers of the Jyseke (Jutland) regiment wore a fur cap with a red bag piped...
Roy, Migueletes were used by the Catalan (pro British) forces and could be either regular or irregular. The pro French forces didn't use them. The regulars...
Thanks to Iain and others who helped me with uniform details. I've finished and based the first three units. Four more are just waiting to be based. Pictures...

We're just past HISTORICON 09, and several of us had talked ourselves into running WSS games there in 15mm. Some of the preliminary discussion was on the Lace...
I've made the following list of units which, for whatever reason, have musicians in Royal livery during the War of the Spanish succession. They are either...
I had the opportunity to visit this exhibition this afternoon and it is well worthwhile. It is NOT primarily a "military" exhibition, although there are...
For some reason this question popped into my head on the way to work
this morning - hopefully somebody can provide enlightenment.
Did the Swedes continue to...
I don't recall this turning up on the list so I'm reposting - my apologies if anyone has read it already. :-) I wonder if anyone on the list can help clarify...
I think the answer is yes. The "salve," as I understand it, involved having multiple ranks fire a concerted volley instead of simply a rolling fire of files...
I thought that this might be of interest to some members of the Group Help us to save Sir John Narbrough's naval journal from sailing away... Narbrough, a...
