Reinforcements for King Louis (Part 7: More French Infantry)
My apologies for the slow pace of articles thus far in 2024, despite my stated best intentions! Unfortunately, various illnesses in my immediate family, a drastic change in my work shift-pattern since the New Year and a general Winter Malaise … Continue reading
“Going At It Bald-Headed!”: The Battle of Warburg 1760 (The Refight)
As mentioned last week in my Review of 2023, during ‘Chrimbo Limbo’ we played my Battle of Warburg 1760 scenario at the Wargames Association of South Pembrokeshire (W.A.S.P.) in Pembroke Dock. We had originally planned to do this at a … Continue reading
Reinforcements for King Louis! (Part 6: The Mestre de Camp Général Dragoons (Santa’s Own))
As it’s Christmas, I thought I’d share with you what is possibly the most festive all all regiments, the French Mestre de Camp Général Dragoons in their Santa hats?! 🙂 The regiment was first raised in 1674 as the Tessé … Continue reading
‘King George Commands And We Obey’: My 15mm SYW British Army (Part 4: Highlanders)
As discussed last time, we’re going to be refighting the Battle of Warburg over Christmas and for that game I’m going to need some extra British units, namely the two regiments of Highlanders serving in Germany (the 87th (Keith’s) and … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’ (Part 8: Hanoverian Cavalry)
Having shocked the surviving readers of this blog last week by publicly playing with Gareth’s nobori and having caused palpitations by making people read Japanese names, I thought I’d better post the blog equivalent of Mogadon to calm everyone down. … Continue reading
‘Auvergne, Voici Les Ennemis!’: The Battle of Clostercamp 16th October 1760 (The Refight)
As discussed last time, we (i.e. Andy, Kirk and me) recently put on a refight of the Battle of Clostercamp for the club open day of one of our local wargame clubs, the Haverfordwest Gaming Club (HATS). I posted the … Continue reading
Reinforcements For King Louis! (Part 5: Gendarmerie de France)
As mentioned in the last few articles, I’m presently expanding my ‘western’ armies for the Seven Years War (France, Saxony, Great Britain, Hanover, Hessen-Cassel, Brunswick and Schaumburg-Lippe), with plans to refight the larger battles in western Germany, such as Minden … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’ (Part 7: Hessen-Cassel Troops)
As mentioned last month, I’m currently undertaking a massive expansion of my French, Saxon and ‘Western Allied’ (i.e. Great Britain, Hanover, Hessen-Cassel, Brunswick & Schaumburg-Lippe) armies for the Seven Years War. The long-term objective is to refight the larger battles … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’: My 15mm SYW Hanoverian & German Allied Army (Part 6 – The Légion Britannique (continued))
Last time, in Part 5 of this series, I looked at the formation of the Légion Britannique, which was a ‘free corps’ raised by Hanover in 1759 at British expense, given a French name, fighting against France under the British … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’: My 15mm SYW Hanoverian & German Allied Army (Part 5 – The Légion Britannique)
As discussed last time, I’m presently in the process of filling out my French, Prussian, Hanoverian and British SYW armies with light troops, which were increasingly a feature of European armies during this period. This week it’s the turn of … Continue reading
