Title: Glorious Revolution 1688
Post by: SV52 on 03 February 2013, 11:36:03 AM
Decided to do this the easy way.  One army for King James incorporating Scots, Irish and English contingents, followed by a Williamite army of continental troops.

First up King James' army command and Scots contingent:

Figures from an old list LoA army pack supplemented from various other ranges.

Very nice - only critique is that the base edges don't match which detracts a touch...

Myself I would say Glorious Succession. Mary was next in line and William was a bonus!
