In the photo titled "The mass cavalry fight on the plains near Ramillies",
there is an interesting cavalry Regiment in yellow.   A close up would be
great if this is possible.

(They are on the left hand side in the centre of the brigade closest to
the road.)

More photos please (close ups if possible).

Hi Phil, they would be a regiment of French  Dragoons using the super LOA recent release.  They are awesome figures and my favourite in the army

Mounted and dismounted

Bloody marvellous, AND looks like there's hope to play to an actual resolution in time available!

Very nice

Fingers crossed we should be able to... though we all like a good chat at shows so fingers crossed!

Thank you for the additional pics - much appreciated.

Really nice to see the figures up close and personal
- lovely minis and excellent brushwork.

Thanks again,


Phil

 

No apologies required, very impressive

I am inclined to agree with FK I did find the marker chips, particularly the yellow ones, a little distracting

I also noticed the edge of the base cloth and a few roads curling up, a little blu tack might reduce that

Finally I'm not a fan of table clutter, particularly for a demo game, a few spare chairs are a good place to have them handy but off the table

I hope you don't mind my suggestions aimed at enhancing a really impressive demonstration game that shows off our hobby really well

I find MDF counters a lot less intrusive if they are left in their natural, woody colour

As a punter at a wargames show, if I'm invited to play a participation game that doesn't have dice, tape measures, quick ref sheets and at least one coke can on it I make my excuses and move on as fast as possible.

Tokens should be easily visible, not require me to hunt for them.

YMMV!

Looks absolutely fantastic.
As for wearing tricorns, what else would one wear when gaming the WSS? 

No man with a good tricorne needs to be justified

Lovely figures, great hats

Tricorn ordered from eBay. Only £7... who would have guessed 😀

Thanks for that - I know a man with a rather large laser who supplies markers 😀

Absolutely lovely looking game.  I especially like how y'all based up your units.  

150mm x 50mm bases?

Hi, apologies for the delay.

Base width is 95mm and depth of 37mm for infantry and cavalry

Artillery width is 95mm and depth of 50mm

The smaller multi bases (3 bases per unit) we use as 'garrison troops in towns use the small FOW command base size


Cheers

Awesome!  Thank you.

Regarding wearing silly hats to wargame with... *ahem!* 



Yes, it is a prat in a hat. Me.

 

 

I hope you earned that VC

* Won the day playing the white knight, leaving others to tidy up my mess, getting back to camp in time for tiffin along with the General's Daughter - CHECK

Damn right I earned that VC. 

Harry Flashman couldn't have done better himself 

A well deserved award Sir 

Well earned indeed

Again a great looking battle!  Thanks for the post
