1745 Jacobites, Louis IV's or maybe the British army of the 7 years war. Lots to choose.

1788 Swedes, followed by 1792 Lithuanians, then Jacobites and 1788 Norwegians

Khusrau03 Feb 2017 6:35 a.m. PST

Austrians & Jacobites. Which I suspect says more about me than the armies.

Scorpio03 Feb 2017 6:58 a.m. PST

YEAH! All three of them, and their goat!

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP03 Feb 2017 10:50 a.m. PST

Hm hard one. Uniform wise i love British SYW.
But how many real super human armies are there really in history? Well Swedish GNW is one of them. While i dislike some of their of the battlefield stuff. On the battlefield they are hard to beat.

Rod MacArthur03 Feb 2017 10:54 a.m. PST

The only two which I have, 1745 Jacobite, followed by same period British.

I have plans for same period Hessians, and quite like the look of them. When I get around to WAS French I will undoubtedly include those as well, particularly the Irish Brigade.

Personal logo Herkybird Supporting Member of TMP03 Feb 2017 12:10 p.m. PST

Swedish GNW for me too!

Personal logo Der Alte Fritz Supporting Member of TMP03 Feb 2017 4:56 p.m. PST

Prussian of course.

Jacobites for the '45 are my second choice.
