Excellent post on references (some I had not seen before!). <br /><br />Coincidentally, I'll be using Ramillies as a model to stage a Napoleonic encounter, so I've been studying up on that one: excellent choice for a wargame!Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241434547051885219.post-40454983703775976202017-08-01T10:47:41.568+00:002017-08-01T10:47:41.568+00:00Thank you for posting this.

My part was to paint the Bavarians: 9 battalions an six regiments, using all the plastics now sold by Warlord. It was a huge amount of fun.
