TOPIC: Jacobites - the '45 |
Standard User Posts: 6 Wallenstein 10th May 2022 04:40:19 Hey all, I was thinking of doing a 1:1 scale battle of prestonpans. For the Jacobite army, do you think think that the american revolution highlanders would work as the musket infantry? I'm not sure if they would be too modern. The ECW scot musketeers look a bit archaic to me, but I'm unsure. I was thinking of using SYW British for the government army, as thats the obvious choice. Any other ideas as to what figures I could use for the units? Thanks for the help :-) |

I have plans. I am dangerous when I have plans... |
