I have a batch of Jacobites and British from Crann Tara Miniatures and very nice they are too. I would like to add some variety from other manufacturers – are there any other ranges out there that are compatible? |

RSM Miniatures are compatible and offer a small Jacobite range. Minden/Fife and Drum are compatible as well, although they cover the SYW/AWI periods, respectively. Crann Tara and Minden/Fife and Drum are both sculpted by Richard Ansell. |

The Crann Tara figures are pretty much the nicest around – for both Jacobiotes and Government troops. You may feel differently but my feeling is that no one else's figures quite mix with Mr. Ansell's style so I stick to the one range. |

How about the new range from Flags of War? link |

I bought the command pack to see how they compare. |

The pack of figures arrived today and they are WAY bigger than Crann Tara. Probably about a head taller and much chunkier as well, so no, they aren't a good match at all. |
