Mark and James have done amazing painting work - I've only added to the stock at the margins by buying painted troops. The C18th troops serve equally well for War of Spanish Succession, which is great.Julian Rochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670263328608312736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-28727445828906892122020-04-14T07:09:38.378+08:002020-04-14T07:09:38.378+08:00Great looking game Julian and certainly an interes...Great looking game Julian and certainly an interesting battle.

What I needed to do was roll up the line on my left, and I completely failed to do that.Julian Rochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670263328608312736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-71166482098573142662020-04-13T09:50:06.493+08:002020-04-13T09:50:06.493+08:00Thanks Peter - I wasn't so impressed as Daun, ...Thanks Peter - I wasn't so impressed as Daun, I can tell you.
