Does anyone know of a CD with a good selection of mid-18th century military music? It could be pleasant background to SYW games, couldn't it? And how many periods allow you to play accompanying music composed by one of the C-in-Cs?

I got a couple for the AWI from;

Age of Reason, and Lafayette's Ghost (which appears not to be listed anymore). Not exactly SYW, but close enough. There are plenty of British marches, a few French and a few German.

Splendid work there Nik.

Not much left to do then

Very much looking forward to defeating the British with these in the next few weeks.

Cheers

Commander & Notables:

Colours - as before  











So - that's the painting done: hi-res pics off to madbeardman tomorrow evening for approval, ahead of a light wash & then sorting the bases; then varnish & get them packed up ready for sending back for their inaugural battle on Thursday

Those lassies are delightful.

[madbeardman]

Well this is a treat for mad old me.

I have to thank Nik for what appears to be a most excellent Job.  How on earth does he paint these figures is quite beyond me.  I blame my eye sight on these monitors that have been part of my life for too long.  28mm is hard enough for me, so I suspect that Nik will soon have my 15mm British Waterloo army under his brush...

Thanks Nik, I'll await those hi-res pictures, but from what I can see so far all looks good!

Cheers

Excellent stuff Nik!

You're doing SYW and Napoleonic? There's a horse-and-musket fanatic for you!
