I want to make a small vignette featuring a group of generals standing around a table making plans with maybe a camp fire and a sentry on guard duty in the back-ground for the Seven Years War period.  Although this will be Austrian in flavour I am sure a combination of a scalpel, filler and a paint job can get over most nationalistic problems with uniforms.  So, in the Pendraken range,  are there any standing Generals with either tricorns or bare-headed/wigs which are not waving their arms about and getting excited?

The civilians set is a must for that sort of thing  ;)

One chap is 'doffing' and is great on command bases. I will try a get a piccie up if I can.

I even have one on a VBCW base for the mayor of Kingston upon Thames in his role of English Mystry command.

True. Chinese are not great ones for dairy products. But I've always felt the need of a few wenches in my ECW Royalist baggages train.

Whereas a reliable linguist could help you.  :P

Heard Chomsky speak once. Phew! Newbury rules are nothing to modern linguistics, I tell you.  The danger sign was changing the name from "philology", a far more humane term.
Which said, if anyone fancies a duel on the subject of prepositions, be warned. I'm dangerous on this one, in all modesty.
