If it helps FK, I really rate the Dutch - the ridiculous notion that troops should be trained and drilled, and follow orders that are given clearly and in timely fashion according to what's relevant in the battle is not to be sneered at I love the "heroic last stands are for the other guy, instead we should just, err, win..." mentality and attention to things like making sure everyone has a working weapon they can use, has boots, food, a hat etc that let them fight off for centuries the most rapacious, fearsome armies in Europe

If it wasn't for the Dutch army the British armed forces would probably still be a comedic mess.

Ok pop pickers...

Now that'd make a great game

But you're right of course. More invasions of England are required on the tabletop! 

The 1688 invasion was enough, thank you very much

Funny you should mention that, as there is a recent Dutch film about the siege of Haarlem.

I'd have a couple of packs of those, they'd look ace
