Some pics of the first outing of these forces played at my local club. Sadly the French succumbed to greater numbers after a stiff fight. As usual I got to engrossed in the game and stopped taking pictures with my phone :-)
We used Pike & Shotte rules and it gave a great game fought to a conclusion in 3 hours. It felt right too, no odd results in combat.

Hear, hear.....
It sounded as though you enjoyed it, Ian ?
Cheers - Phil
Great pics Ian, they look fantastic en-masse. look forward to seeing more. As I always say, 'I can make them look good, but I can't make them win for you', but I'm glad to here you enjoyed the game.
Looks great!
Looks cracking!
Did you use any amendments/special rules?
We play with the "And Blenheim Palace" extras for WSS-ish as mentioned before from Last Hussar, using P&S as our "base", and it gives a crackin game :)
Superb work as always. :-bd
Great looking game 8).
We used P&S as written, we saw no point in changing anything for the 1st game.
Cheers

A great looking game - really has a grand sweep to it.
The figures look really good up close.

Spot on, we played for a fair few games before we started tweaking - there's not a lot needs fiddling with, but we're inveterate tinkerers. But I always try to make sure we play a fair few games as is before fiddling otherwise you do t know what your're fiddling with :D
It's always good to know what you're fiddling with ;) :P
Cheers

Well, there's a lot pointy sticks and easily discharged weapons there. You really need to keep that first volley till it's crucial and not go off half cocked.

Lovely looking game, well done! :-bd
Great looking game. Glad to see the Garde Français has the correct number of battalions. :-bd
