I picked up the volley and bayonet  Jacobite two supplement set from old glory at partisan last year. It's an invaluable reference. I'm planning to do the campaign but giving a 'what if' option for more French involvement. The pendraken figures are excellent. All I have to do is actually paint them! I am planning to use principles of war rules.

Cor - finally  ;) I thought no-one was interested....

This is what I think - for each of the battles:
Prestonpans
English:
General + 4 Commands
7 x Infantry
4 x Cavalry
2 x Guns
Jacobite:
General + 3 Commands
14 x Infantry

Falkirk
English:
General + 3 Commands
14 x Infantry
3 x Cavalry
Jacobite:
General + 3 Commands
18 x Infantry
1 x Cavalry

Culloden
English:
General + 5 Commands
17 x Infantry
4 x Cavalry
7 x Guns
Jacobite:
General + 4 Commands
14 x Infantry
1 x Cavalry
2 x Guns

Right - in an ideal world, with a stupidly-big table, I'd do the above: basing for WM variant so 30 figs / unit [3 stands / unit]

What I'm actually going to do is roughly halve it & have enough commanders & units to fight all the battles - which looks like this:

Prestonpans:
English: Gen + 2 cmds; 4 x infantry; 2 x cavalry; 1 x guns
Jacobite: Gen + 2 cmds; 7 x infantry

Falkirk:
English:Gen + 2 cmds; 7 x infantry; 2 x cavalry
Jacobite: Gen + 2 cmds; 9 x infantry; 1 x cavalry

Culloden:
English: Gen + 3 cmds; 9 x infantry; 2 x cavalry; 4 x guns
Jacobite: Gen + 2 cmds; 7 x infantry; 1 x cavalry; 1 x gun

Armies & PD order:
English:
General + 3 Commands [various codes]
9 x Infantry: 6 Line, 2 Scots, 1 Grenadier: 3 x SYB 1, 4 x SYB 5, 1 x SYB 6, 1 x SYB 14
2 x Cavalry: Dragoons: 2 x SYB 23
4 x Guns: 2 x SYB11

Jacobite:
General + 2 Commands [various codes]
9 x Infantry: 6 Highlanders, 2 Lowlanders, 1 Royal Ecosse: 1 x JS1, 1 x JS2, 1 x JS4, 3 x JS5, 2 x JS6, 2 x JS7
1 x Cavalry: Baggot's Hussars: 1 x JS3
1 x Gun: 1 x SYF 11

Whaddya think?!

All of which means, of course, that you can do the entire campaign for about £80 [once you've decided on a few extras for commands etc]...

Compare that with a 2000 pt Space Marine army  :o :P 8)

Fenton

What would the price be in 2mm  :P
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Dave Fielder

Looks very workable and a good price for the whole set. They would mesh nicely with other "Tricorn" period armies in those "What if" games that can be generated. Imagine if a Ginger-Jockinese Army appeared at Minden or Rossbach? :o

Hehehe - probably about £30 or so...I really don't want to paint 2mm tartan & ginger hair though  :P

I've already ordered my next Pendraken project (Gauls) but what shall I do after that is half-finished?  ???

I usually shout "boo" afterwards! But then I'm not USMC! ... How did the Culloden thread end up in the Pacific Theatre BTW?

I must find my copy of 'Like Hungry Wolves'.  Now I've got SYW Western Germany on the horizon I'll need at least some British at some point so Culloden wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility - or an alternate action involving some of the German forces deployed in 1746.
