ECW project - For King and Parliament

[Terry37]

Paul, I am impressed with how both you and Bill have been able to stay so committed to a single theater/war. I wish I could say that,  but I have always been a sucker for a colorful costume!

@pierre the shy - really like your implementation of the attached weapons markers (and the labeling). Quite spiffy!


My interest is beyond focus and borders on pathological obsession. I have recently dabbled with medieval, however.

Well this War of the three Kingdoms project (can't really call it an ECW project) isn't quite finished after all  - I have 8 more regiments of Irish Confederation and Anglo-Irish on order to enable a refight of Benburb and its associated skirmishes after I got hold of a copy of Clive Hollick's incredibly informative book on the battle during the lockdown. The Irish phase of the Civil wars was almost entirely unknown to me before reading this book. Benburb seems like a logical step (at least to me  ) since I have plenty of suitable cavalry and Covenanter Foot plus Montrose's Irish Brigade already.

Time to revive this project, I have some spare ELM14 Peasants with mixed weapons figures and in my last order I ordered 4 custom sabot bases for ECW Rabble

These mini-projects using up spare figures are helping keep me entertained 

So I've prepared and washed the figures

I was finally able to deliver 300+ Pendraken ECW figures to Paul today along with the flags and labels he was waiting for to finish his clubmen, Free Companies and Punic war projects.

These are for 8 additional regiments (4 Anglo-Irish and 4 Irish Confederate) that will enable us to refight Benburb and associated actions once completed.
