Very nice Phil!!!

Impressive and inspiring work. Can you share the manufacturer of the figures and some paint-guides? Also, what rules are you using? I am interested in this period and started a Polish Army. A friend has begun the Ottomans. So any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks you both, Mickael and Ray, glad you enjoyed! Phil.

Hi Drummer, Thanks a lot for your comment. For the rules, they are "Fast Play", and made in our club for about 10 years. For the figures, I have asked Cristopher, I'm waiting for his answer… Best, Phil.

For drummer : figs are 15mm essex, some (marines) are minifigs. Some are conversions (head cut). For the paint-guides : osprey, men at arms. Hope this will be helpful! Best, Phil.

Too bad France didn't send any troops to stop the Turks at Vienna.

Thanks you both, Willie and Dennis, much appreciated! Well, in fact, I believe that Louis XIV was not unhappy to see the attack on Vienna… Glad you enjoyed! Best, Phil.
