Nice  :) What scale? Three-cornered hats or broad brimmed flat?  They sound more like League of Augsburg types late 17th century. Like these?

Definitely Marlburian, although I don't think they had any tanks in the Dutch army at that time, let alone two of the blighters.........then again Albert van Vinci was living in Rotterdam at the time.

Hi Lemmy, 

If they are 10mm they are definitely Marlburian.  If your selling I may well be interested, Please PM me with an idea of what you want for them.

I am at a funeral for most of tomorrow, So if I don't reply its not that I am not interested

Cheers

I was about to make they same offer, ML, but it would be damn bad form to bid against Orcs. If he ends up deciding not to pull the trigger, I might be interested.

The only reference I could find of Oglethorpe' Regiment was the 42nd that was disbanded in 1748. Then the 43rd got renamed 42nd.
