Someone please refresh my memory -- what nation's pikemen in the 1680s wore breastplate and soft hat? Austria I think?

French seem to have still had it in the 1680s, though whether it was worn in the field, its hard to be sure, likely it fell out of use towards the end of the century.

Other than french. grin (Thanks though clib -- should have specified.)

Never mind -- it appears units in various armies, including the British, sometimes kept their breastplates until at least 1685. Thanks.

It looks like Clib will be doing another
LoA project(?)…this time in 18mm!

Who is he doing it for?

A passive agressive way of asking if Khurasan will seek the talent of Clibinarium…his LoA ranges in both 28mm and 10mm are outstanding.

Leave Clib alone until he has finished his 10mm League of Augsburg range and of course his yet to be seen French Rev range!!!!

Yep we chatted about it ages ago, but I wasn't able to fit it into the schedule.
We've got other things in the hopper.

Wait. Are you saying Khurasan has 10mm League of Augsberg and French Rev?
