I finished the command and pike stand for one of my Irish regiments for Montrose's forces. Now to finish the muskets!

Montrose's Irish regiments didn't have any pikes. They certainly took some to Scotland but left them on the ship. The contemporary accounts specifically say they didn't have any. Stuart Reid originally got this spectacularly wrong and (some)lazy writers subsequently have just piggy-backed onto this error. |

We actually know very very little about most of the ECW units or actions . . . and much of what we think we know is from contradictory sources. So maybe they had pikes and maybe they didn't; or maybe they used them in some actions and not in others . . . we do not really know. Personally I would be quite happy to allow them by my opponent if he felt that they had them. I would certainly not want to behave like a "Napoleonic button counter" . . . especially when we know so very little about so very much of what went on. Let us game like gentlemen I say. Lovely work, sir. I wish you good luck with them on the table top.
