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

Khusrau	03 Feb 2017 5:35 a.m. PST
Austrians & Jacobites. Which I suspect says more about me than the armies.

Gunfreak	03 Feb 2017 9:50 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 MacArthur	03 Feb 2017 9:54 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. Rod
Frederick	03 Feb 2017 10:40 a.m. PST
Austrian Then French – used to be Prussian but all blue got tiring
Herkybird	03 Feb 2017 11:10 a.m. PST
Swedish GNW for me too!
Der Alte Fritz	03 Feb 2017 3:56 p.m. PST
Prussian of course. Jacobites for the '45 are my second choice.
