Hi,

Nice units, like your one base per battalion approach.

You have displayed two colours (1 Colonel 1 Ordinary) for your premier battalion but only one colour (1 Ordinary) for the other battalions.

Would you not have displayed two colours (2 Ordinary) for second and subsequent battalions?

OK, I was thinking purely in Regimental terms.

SYW is really starting to claim its rightful place, isn't it?

Too much time in Napoleonic, too much rules, too much people who say too lot of thing... i'm a little borried from Napoleonic at this time.
SYW is a good alternative :)

These are very nice!

There seems to be a richness to the colours, which fits the period in some way.

Looking very good, Helmut.  :-bd

Currently painting some Pendraken SYW and they are almost as good as mine.  :^o :^o :^o
