The Franco-Dutch War
The Franco-Dutch War, often called simply the Dutch War (French: La Guerre de Hollande) (1672–78) was a war fought by France, Sweden, the Bishopric of Münster, the Archbishopric of Cologne and England against the United Netherlands, which were later joined by the Austrian Habsburg lands, Brandenburg and Spain to form a quadruple alliance. The war ended with the Treaty of Nijmegen of 1678, which granted France control of the Franche-Comté and some cities in Flanders and Hainaut (all formerly controlled by Spain).

A reason for France's attack against the United Provinces was the support given by that Republic to Spain during the War of Devolution (1667–68). A primary objective of Louis XIV was to gain the support of England. England felt threatened by the growing naval power of the United Provinces and Louis XIV agreed to financially support the English with three million pounds annually. Sweden agreed to indirectly support the invasion of the United Provinces, by threatening Brandenburg if that state should intervene in the war against France.

As part of my Dutch Wars project, my friend Tony Bragg has just begun work on a 17th century port, complete with harbour wall and fortifications.

As a base for the project, we used the 28mm Spanish fort and redoubt from Slug Industry (all be it heavily cut up)

This rear section will be carved into a rock face, with maybe a cave leading to the fortification at the front ;)

Brilliant. Looking forward to following this one.
One of my favourite periods.

I have to find the first rock face near the dutch coast. Where is the harbour meant to be?
Good start of the project!

Speaking of which, may we expect some new releases for the 1672 range in the not-too-distant future ? ;)

1672.
After a lack of designer wanting to work on this range, I've now bribed Mike Owen of Artizan Design to take it on.
Dragoon Command first, then the Spanish, then Characters/ Generals. After that skirmishers and armed peasants.

Lovely to hear that Mike is taking this range forward. It's going to be a great time to get into this period.

Has anyone got some scale comparison pictures of the Northstar 1672 range? :)

I think the range mixes well with Front Rank miniatures.

Front Rank Officer and Northstar Dragoons
Cheers!!

I love the period. Admittedly ACW has taken over recently, but luckily I got 1672 armies for both sides finished while the enthusiasm was high, so I can pull them off the shelf anytime. Part of the reason the range hasn't been added to for so long is figure designers going 'nah' when I've offered it them. Mr Copplstone has put it behind him, Mark Sims said nah, three others walked away after a few packs...BUT, Mike Owen is keen! He's already done the Dragoon Command standing, he'll be on the mounted soon and he's started the Spanish.
-
Raglan. I won't highjack your thread again! sorry.
-
Please excuse my ignorance, but the Northstar 1672 range is stated as suitable for 1665 – 1680 and the Front Rank range 1685 – 1700.
Is there much of a difference in dress from 1665 – 1700 so that both ranges are interchangeable and usable for the entirety of this period?
-
North Star is best for the 1670s, Front Rank for 1680-1690s. Of course there is some overlap in many armies. The last half of the 17th century saw a rapid change in military fashion. I think the uniforms of 1700 are closer to the style of 1750 than the style of 1665. Spain is probably the biggest exception. They tended to retain old styles longer, at least until the WSS.

Thanks for the reply. Does anyone do flags for the period?

This needs to dry for about 5 days then gap fill, sand, foam coat and base, then sit for another 7 days to fully cure.

I'm dumbfounded AND flabbergasted at this. :-*
Every sale of one of my humble products is a smile from the face of God*, to see folk paint them up is an additional joy but to see THIS is the cherry on top, the icing on the cake and takes the biscuit!
It's an incredible build, but more so for hacking this up to make something great. Those are hefty chunks of resin I can't imagine the effort, and the blunting of blades, in doing it. I'm seriously blown away.
8) 8) 8) Thank you so much for sharing. 8) 8) 8)
Really looking forward to seeing this progress, when you said you were going to do something special you weren't joking...
*Insert appropriate deity or supreme icon of belief here. ;)

Very impressive. Great to see this progressing :)

Cheers fellas!!!

That is incredible! Is it all built as one piece? You must have a warhouse to store it.

The fortification can be detached from beach for storage.

Highjack alert.
I don't normally show 'greens', but just to show that Mr Owen is cracking on with the 1672 range, here's the furry hat Dragoon Command.

Highjack away Mon Vieux if you post these sort of goodies...

Danish Foot Regiment Funen/Fynske
It was one of the oldest regiments in the Danish army and could trace its history back to 1614 when it was raised under the name Fynske Fenle Knægte af Jydske Regiment Landsfolk.

The project should move along at pace now, with two French brigades currently being painted. The Danish foot guards are also done, but I don't currently have the flags to display them.

Hi Iain
Do you recall years ago you did me the English flags with Charles II sigil? You should release that in this range, for the English Regiment that went over in 1672 to fight for the French.

Régiment d'Artois
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ifa2S8K40o/XNcALL0cSRI/AAAAAAAANAU/7xXJwEyNQ08l0SoUeU-3babjc5F3RS5JwCLcBGAs/s1600/thumbnail%2B%25282%2529.jpg)
The regiment was raised on 24 April 1610 for the Comte de Beaumont Saint-Vallier when Henri IV made his great preparations to fight the Habsburg. It was disbanded after the assassination of Henry IV a few weeks later. The regiment was re-established on 15 August 1615 and disbanded for a second time on 6 May 1616. It was definitively re-established again on 9 September of the same year. From then on, it belonged to the regular regiments later designated as “Petits-Vieux”, ranking 6th among them until 1670.

In 1653, during the last years of the Franco-Spanish War (1635–59), the regiment took part in the defence of Picardie and in the sieges of Rhétel and Sainte-Ménehould. In 1654, it garrisoned various places in Flanders and participated in the capture of Beverloo. From 1655 to 1657, the regiment assumed garrison duties in Le Quesnoy. In 1658, it joined the Army of Champagne.

In 1667, at the outbreak of the War of Devolution (1667–68), the regiment served in the Duchy of Luxembourg. In 1668, it contributed to the conquest of Franche-Comté and took part in the siege of Dôle. In 1669, the regiment formed part of the relief expedition sent to the help of the Venetians defending Candia (present-day Heraklion) in Crete against the Turks. The regiment suffered heavy losses in this unsuccessful expedition.

In 1672, at the beginning of the Franco-Dutch War (1672–78), the regiment campaigned in Holland. In 1673, it took part in the siege of Maastricht. The same year, the regiment received the name of the Province of Artois when the regiment previously known by this name received the privilege of becoming a royal regiment under the name of La Couronne Infanterie. The new Artois Infanterie ended the campaign at Stenay and at the camp of Sédan where it remained for several months. In 1674, it took part in the Battle of Séneffe, in the Battle of Ensheim and in the combats of Mulhausen and Turckheim; in 1675, in the combat of Consaarbrûck and in the defence of Trier suffering very heavy losses. In 1676, the regiment was rebuilt. In 1677, it took part in the sieges of Valenciennes and Cambrai; in 1678, in the sieges of Ghent and Ypres. It was then transferred to Germany. In 1679, it fought in the combat of Minden.

The English Brigade in the French Service 1672-1678
Douglas's / Dumbarton's / The Royal Scots
This Scottish Rgt had been in the French Service since the first part of the 17th C, but had returned to England at the Restoration. With the raising of the English Standing Army in 1661 it was unnecessary for the regt to remain in England, and so it returned to France in 1662. It was again recalled to England for the 2nd Dutch War, but back to France in 1667. There it continued until 1678 when it was finally summoned home to serve on the English establishment as the First Royal Regt of Foot, or the Royal Scots. Twelve companies of 100 men each.

Once across the Channel, Skelton's was retained as a seperate unit and acted as the 2nd Bn The Royal English. In 1673 this bn was granted seniority over the original battalion as it was composed of guardsmen. This caused great jealousy betwen the two formations.
The companies of Skelton, Daniell and Sackville were recalled to England in Apr 1674. John Churchill assumed command of the remaining five companies and amalgamated them with the Earl of Peterborough's Regiment to form a new regiment which continued in France until 1677.

What a nice regiment! and superb ship. This thread is a gem!
-
I did an English regiment.
The command stand is in French grey, but the musketeers are painted as Marines. They are the Admirals Regt, that became the Royal Marines and the Buffs. I think I did them as a 'what if' the English had beaten the Dutch at Solebay and had landed troops in Holland. They can also man the big ship.
The English flags were made by Flags of War. I'm not sure if they are in his catalogue, but he put them together for me.
-
The first picture are my Dumbarton's in French service.
The second is the Coldstream guards. They would have been dressed in Grey in French service (elements served in the 2nd Batt. English Regt.), but I couldn't resist doing a unit in Red and green, with the pike in reverse colours.
-
I don't think I can resist not painting my Coldstream Guards in anything but traditional red.

Régiment du Dauphin
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5LgmJ3xeHQg/XNcAMiW1WpI/AAAAAAAANAs/B_kkGmEIrGkpKX7lU_LSSKGPVAJuhBYAQCLcBGAs/s1600/thumbnail%2B%25288%2529.jpg)
The regiment was created by Louis XIV for his son the Dauphin de France on June 15, 1667. Initially the regiment ranked 45th. During the War of Devolution (1667–68), the regiment served with the Army of Flanders and assumed garrison duty in Charleroi after the capture of this city. In 1668, the regiment campaigned in Franche-Comté and distinguished itself at the sieges of Besançon and Dôle. It was then charged to demolish the fortifications of Dôle which it evacuated on June 10 to go to Tournai. In 1669 at Tournai, the remnants of the regiment of the Marquis de Linières was incorporated into Dauphin Infanterie who also inherited its rank (16th), just after Lyonnais Infanterie.

In 1670, the regiment campaigned in Lorraine under M. de Créqui, taking part in the sieges of Epinal, Chasté and Longwy. In 1671, it was increased to 70 companies; till then Louis XIV wanted that his son, even though he was still a child, had only a lieutenant-colonel. He changed his mind and created a charge of colonel-lieutenant for the regiment.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JIyepq6Rym0/XNcAKQR4WpI/AAAAAAAANAM/BIQOVXu1OHItRGorN6y8gJaf4F1MJhkaACLcBGAs/s1600/thumbnail%2B%252811%2529.jpg)
In 1672, at the outbreak of the Franco-Dutch War (1672–78), the regiment formed part of the Army of Holland and was at the siege of Orsoy, Rheinberg, Doësbourg and Nijmegen and at the affair of Bommel Island. The regiment was then transferred to Turenne's Army and took its winter-quarters on the Moselle. In January 1673, it took part in the expedition in the estates of the Elector of Brandenburg and was at the capture of Unna, Kamen and Soëst. After pushing the enemy back to the Elbe, it returned to its winter-quarters. In May, a detachment of the regiment took part in a combat near Bois-le-Duc against the garrison of Crèvecoeur, later making itself master of Crèvecoeur and razed it before retiring to Kayserswerth. From June the rest of the regiment took part in the siege of Maastricht where, on 24 June, it distinguished itself in the storming of the covert way of a defensive work, losing 37 officers and 224 men. The regiment then participated in the siege of Trier before taking its winter-quarters in Burgundy. In 1674, the regiment took part in the siege of Besançon and in the capture of Dôle where it distinguished itself so much that Louis XIV gave regiments to seven of its captain. After the conquest of Franche-Comté, the regiment was sent to Trier and then to Soissons where it took its winter-quarters. In 1675, it formed part of the Army of the Low Countries and covered the sieges of Dinant, Huy and Limbourg; taking its winter-quarters in Avesnes. However in November, it was sent to Brittany to quench troubles. In 1676, it returned to Flanders and took part in the siege of Condé, Bouchain and Aire, in the relief of Maastricht. Meanwhile in May 9 companies were besieged in Philisbourg during three months, capitulating only when all ammunition had been exhausted. In 1677, the regiment took part in the sieges of Valenciennes and Cambrai, and in the relief of Charleroi. It took its winter-quarters in Cassel. In 1678, it took part in the siege of Ghent. Increased to 3 battalions, it then participated in the capture of Ypres and in the Battle of Saint-Denis.

Great job.

Danish Foot Regiment Funen/Fynske
It was one of the oldest regiments in the Danish army and could trace its history back to 1614 when it was raised under the name Fynske Fenle Knægte af Jydske Regiment Landsfolk.

The 'first official' unit of English naval infantry, originally called the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foot and soon becoming known as the Admiral's Regiment, was formed on 28 October 1664, with an initial strength of 1,200 infantrymen recruited from the Trained Bands of London as part of the mobilisation for the Second Anglo-Dutch War. James (later King James VII & II), the Duke of York and Albany, Lord High Admiral and brother of King Charles II, was Captain-General of the Artillery Company, now the Honorable Artillery Company, the unit that trained the Trained Bands.

Cracking looking unit.

In 1667, at the beginning of the War of Devolution (1667–68), the regiment campaigned in Flanders, taking part in the sieges of Berghes, Furnes, Courtrai, Charleroi, Tournai, Douai, Oudenarde and Lille.

In 1672 at the outbreak of the Franco-Dutch War (1672–78), the regiment was increased to two battalions, each of 16 companies. It took part in the sieges of Orsoy, Burich and Zütphen. Seventeen companies garrisoned Wesel.

On February 1 1673, the regiment took the name of the Province of Bourbonnais. In 1673, the regiment took part in the siege of Maastricht. In 1674, it fought in the Battle of Seneffe. In 1675, it was at the sieges of Dinant, Huy and Limbourg. In 1676, it took part in the defence of Maastricht which it then garrisoned till the end of the war in 1678.

Royal Scottish Regiment

During the 1672-74 Third Anglo-Dutch War, Douglas' was part of British Brigade that fought with the French, commanded by the Duke of Monmouth. It served in the Rhineland throughout the Franco-Dutch War, even after the Anglo-Dutch war ended in February 1674; it became the Régiment de Dumbarton in 1675, after George Douglas was made Earl of Dumbarton.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MO92vBABSvM/XTYzaEG_7tI/AAAAAAAANbU/mzyJD4IknIcj4mIVbtcDMP5tkNhMSGv9wCLcBGAs/s1600/20190721_095757.jpg)
The 1678 Treaties of Nijmegen required the repatriation of all Scots and English units from France; reluctant to lose veteran troops, this was made as hard as possible. Dumbarton's was posted to the Dauphiné in Southern France before being disbanded and its men prevented from travelling for 30 days thereafter; many chose to remain, while those who arrived in England did so without money or possessions.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Q5iUHaP1Ro/XTYzZzcnrHI/AAAAAAAANbM/QU3J9yVn4ecdAprqGXk33alY71k5eSSRACLcBGAs/s1600/20190721_095813.jpg)
It was the only unit where the majority remained loyal to James during the November 1688 Glorious Revolution; Dumbarton followed him into exile and one of William's subordinates, Frederick Schomberg, appointed Colonel. While awaiting transport from Ipswich to Flanders, it mutinied on 15 March 1689; this was a combination of not being paid and dislike at being commanded by a foreigner but the mutineers were treated with leniency and later agreed to the move.

Splendid

Another absolutely fab looking unit, and an equally interesting history. Must have been an especially confusing time to be a British soldier!

Earl of Antrim's Regiment of Foot - Williamite War in Ireland
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kmtwzx_M3BA/XTYzb7bmT-I/AAAAAAAANbY/MRw7bsYQO4cF9gw_FQqiDCgpgzJllkSUwCLcBGAs/s1600/20190721_101704.jpg)
Slightly off piste with this unit, but I figure they can be used to represent one of the regiments in the Irish Brigade.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CpqkQj1UiMI/XTYzeVOSGXI/AAAAAAAANbc/h5xeFbMu1TgwPxyONq5fvjKPbahX-ItIQCLcBGAs/s1600/20190721_101724%2B%25281%2529.jpg)
At the outbreak of the Glorious Revolution, which replaced James II with William of Orange, Antrim was already in his seventies. He stayed loyal to James. When the Dutch invasion threatened, James ordered Richard Talbot, Earl of Tyrconnell, whom James had appointed viceroy of Ireland, to sent reliable Irish troops to England. These units sailed to Chester in September and early October 1688. To replace these units, Tyrconnell ordered four new regiments to be raised, one for each Irish province. The Ulster regiment was to be raised by Antrim. He hired 1,200 Scottish mercenaries (i.e. redshanks), making sure they were all Catholics. The unit was supposed to be ready on 20 November, but delays occurred.
At that time Tyrconnell's remodelling of the Irish army had advanced so far that few units still had significant numbers of protestant soldiers. One of those was the regiment of Viscount Mountjoy, a protestant loyal to James. This unit was in garrison at Londonderry (or Derry). Tyrconnell considered this unit unreliable and on 23 November he ordered Mountjoy to march to Dublin, supposedly for embarking to England. Mountjoy's regiment was to be replaced by Antrim's, but that was not ready and Derry found itself without garrison.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-413EKrsNx8o/XTYzeVB814I/AAAAAAAANbg/bRQlW6ROz_chLtFmct5W1oA8f71WOpG9ACLcBGAs/s1600/20190721_101753.jpg)
When Antrim finally got his troops on the way, he met Colonel George Philips, a protestant, at Newtown Limavady, who sent a messenger to Derry to warn the city. On 7 December 1688, with Antrim's regiment ready to cross the Foyle River under the Ferryquay Gate, thirteen apprentices seized the city keys and locked the gates. With this Derry was in rebellion against Tyrconnell and James;. Antrim was not strong enough to take the town by force and retreated to Coleraine.
When Tyrconnell heard that Antrim had been kept out of Derry, he stopped Mountjoy on his march to Dublin and sent him back to Derry. On 21 December Mountjoy reached Derry and struck a deal with the city, according to which two of his companies, consisting entirely of Protestant soldiers, would be let into town. The one was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Lundy, the other by Captain William Stewart. Both later swore allegiance to William. Mountjoy appointed Lundy governor of the town in place of Philips.

James lost the Williamite War in Ireland with the fall of Limerick in 1691. Antrim as a supporter of James was one of the losers. Peace was signed with the Treaty of Limerick according to which all the members of the Irish landed gentry having served in the Jacobite Army who did not immediately swear allegiance to William and Mary would forfeit their title and lands. Antrim seems to have missed his chance in 1691 and not have sworn allegiance to William immediately after the signing of the treaty. However he seems to have obtained a pardon at a later stage and did regain control of his lands.

Beautiful units and painting . I particularly like how you’ve painted the faces , their expressions and the ruddy cheeks ect are very effective. I’m loving the potted histories for each unit btw. Brilliant thread .

Very nice job with the unit of Front Rank figures. The dark color of the muskets and metalwork helps to reduced the exaggerated size of the weapon.

Régiment Du Roi

In 1667, at the outbreak of the War of Devolution (1667–68), the regiment joined the Army of Flanders and took part in the sieges of Tournai, Douai and Lille before garrisoning Oudenarde. In 1668, it returned to Saint-Germain where, during a review, the king decided to add 4 grenadiers to each company of his regiment, a measure soon extended to the other infantry regiments. At the end of 1669, when the old Lorraine Infanterie (occupying the 14th rank of seniority) was integrated into Du Roi Infanterie, the latter regiment inherited from the rank of the former.

In 1672, at the beginning of the Franco-Dutch War (1672–78), the regiment took part in the siege of Doësbourg where its colonel-lieutenant was killed. It was also at the siege of Orsoy on the Rhine and took part in Turenne's expedition in the estates of the Elector of Brandenburg and in the storming of the Castle of Berckhembaum. In 1673, the regiment took part in the siege of Maastricht; in 1674, in the sieges of Limbourg, Besançon and Dôle, and in the Battle of Seneffe; in 1675, in the sieges of Liège, Dinant, Huy and Limbourg; in 1676, in the siege of Condé and in the protection of the siege of Bouchain; in 1677, in the sieges of Valenciennes and Cambrai, and in the capture of Saint-Ghislain; in 1678, in the sieges of Gand and Ypres, in the Battle of Saint-Denis near Mons, and in the blockade of Strasbourg. In 1679, the regiment took part in the sieges of Homburg and Bitch, and in the engagement of Linden.

In 1680, the regiment assumed garrison duty in Lille. In 1683, it took part in the sieges of Courtrai and Dixmude, and in the bombardment of Oudenarde. In 1684, it was with the army who covered the siege of Luxembourg.
At the outbreak of the Nine Years' War (1688–97) in 1688, the regiment followed the Dauphin who laid siege of Philisbourg. It then took part in the capture of Mannheim, Spires, Worms, Trier, Frankenstein and Mainz. In 1690, it fought in the Battle of Fleurus. In 1691, it took part in the siege of Mons, in the capture of Halle and in the Combat of Leuzes; in 1692, in the siege of Namur, in the Battle of Steenkerque where it suffered heavy losses, and in the bombardment of Charleroi; in 1693, in the sieges of Huy and Château-Picard, in the Battle of Landen and in the siege of Charleroi; in 1695, in the sieges of Dixmude and Deynse and in the bombardment of Bruxelles; in 1697, in the siege of Ath.

Not a lot of history on this unit, information on dragoons is pretty sparse in this period.

The dragoon regiments are actually fairly well documented if you know where to look.
Fimarcon had been raised in 1676 by the Marquis de Barbezières. In 1678, it was given to Gaston-Paul Jean-Baptiste de Cassagnet de Tilladet, Marquis de Fimarcon right after his uncle was killed leading his own dragoons at the battle of St-Denis. The regiment remained the property of the Cassagnet family (who had obtained the marquisate of Fimarcon in the previous century) until 1705, when it was acquired by François de Baschi, Marquis du Cayla, and took the name Cayla for about a year and a half. It returned to the Cassagnet de Tilladet family in 1706 and was known as Tilladet until 1713. The unit fought in Germany and Flanders during the Dutch war and was involved in the dragonnades during the 1680's (hence the very famous period satirical cartoon showing a Fimarcon dragoon forcing a Huguenot to convert to catholicism at gunpoint). Fimarcon then fought in Italy in 1690-1691 before being transferred to Flanders for the remainder of the Nine Years War, fighting notably at Neerwinden. The green uniform lined isabelle (a pale yellow-buff colour) was worn during the 1670's (presumably) and 1680's, being replaced with a green coat lined green and a fur cap with a green bag circa 1690.
Since I'm in a pedantic mood, your flags for the Régiment du Roi aren't right if you care about such thing. Its white drapeau colonel is actually that of the Régiment de la Couronne, and the Dedit Hanc Mastreka Coronam motto was not added until 1750 anyway (Du Roi's drapeau colonel only had 48 golden fleurs-de-lys on the cross and no crowns or motto). Likewise, the green and red drapeau d'ordonnance only had fleur-de-lys, as the crowns and motto were only added in the mid-1750's. .

Thank you for this info buddy, however, my period of interest is fairly narrow, 1665 to 1680, including the War of Devolution and The Dutch Wars. If you can find information on dragoons in this period, please point the way as I would be hugely grateful.

A big Spanish contingent is planned once I have finish the Dutch brigades, so waiting patiently for Nick to release them into the 1672 range.
Thank you for the offer of information, I will definitely be in touch ;)

I'm not aware of any primary sources detailing dragoon coat colours for the Dutch War era, with the exception of one eyewitness account from 1671 describing the Régiment Royal as wearing blue coats faced red. The adoption of uniforms by dragoon regiments appears to have been a gradual process which was only completed by the end of the Dutch War, but it would make sense for the King's regiment to be among the first to receive uniforms.
Terra firma is only reached with a list published in 1680 in the Mercure Galant and most people - yours truly included - generally use it as a guide for the 1675-1679 period, which may not be entirely accurate but probably doesn't stray too far from reality either - we know so little about 1670's uniforms that beggars can't afford to be choosers anyway. It seems likely that by the battles of Cassel in 1677 and St Denis in 1678, most dragoon units had already more or less settled for the coat colours and facings they would wear throughout the 1680's (what was worn in the early years of the war - say 1672 to 1675 - is another matter altogether as we know precious little about the clothing worn then save for a few exceptions).
The most convenient English language source for dragoon uniforms from 1680 to 1715 is Robert Hall and GianCarlo Boeri's CD, sold through Baccus in the UK :
https://www.baccus6mm.com/catalogue/WSSUniformCDs/ (https://www.baccus6mm.com/catalogue/WSSUniformCDs/)
As far as regimental histories as concerned, Henri Choppin's venerable Histoire générale des dragons remains the go-to book, though you need to be able to read French to use it as I don't believe it was ever translated into English.
Incidentally, if your main area of interest is the pre-1680 period, most maison du roi units had yet to adopt the uniforms they would retain until the French revolution : the Gardes Françaises were in grey coats with grey lining and cuffs and silver lace, and red breeches and stockings (their distinctive blue coat faced red with white lace was not adopted until 1685), while the horse grenadiers wore red coats with red cuffs until the early 1690's, only going into blue coats in 1692.

I am being dense but are the Baccus CDs the same as the P&SS Uniform books?

Yes, they are. Baccus sell the Hall & Co CD's only whereas the Pike and Shot Society have the much more expensive book versions.

Late to the party as usual, going to be watching this thread with great interest. Great looking figures and terrain going to enjoy reading from the start :)

Cheers Jeff, its finally looking like a collection now, but there is still a way to go until its finished.
-
Lord raglan,
I am new to this fascinating period - encouraged in part by the range of reference material now available from Helion.
Might you give me a little information on the base sides that you use for cavalry, infantry and especially those wonderful dismounted dragoons ?
Many thanks
JM
-
Hi JM
Both my infantry and cavalry are based on 60mm by 60mm MDF bases which are 3mm thick, you can buy them from Warbases. I put the horse holder on a slightly larger base, so I could make it into a little vignette.
Gareth

Thank you sir - an absolutely wonderful collection.

Régiment de Provence
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pPZOZtC5u3o/XW2LDXxZRxI/AAAAAAAANwA/Xgx6RF9Sj00Az02KhPqWua0f70I0k2ISQCLcBGAs/s1600/20190902_181100.jpg)
The regiment was raised on December 4, 1674 by the Comte de Grignan, lieutenant-general in Provence to give assistance to Messina against Spain. It initially counted 21 companies. From 1676 to 1677, during the Franco-Dutch War (1672-78), the regiment campaigned in Sicily. In 1678, it was transferred to Catalonia before returning to Provence.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iL7jOpI4iSI/XW2LFOCvUtI/AAAAAAAANwM/r5N0smvaL9AXG-zvWJxAEpTKU_VfeZgywCLcBGAs/s1600/20190902_181138.jpg)
In 1681, the regiment contributed to the occupation of Casale. On June 15, 1684, the regiment took the name of the Province of Provence.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5xPl3ZoTTuo/XW2LDg2SdCI/AAAAAAAANwE/X_ncJkpx80QmkvISlFs4yTaXJLmYC-BigCLcBGAs/s1600/20190902_181116.jpg)
In 1688, at the outbreak of the Nine Years' War (1688-97), the regiment was sent to the Netherlands where it garrisoned Nuyts. In 1689, it took part in the defence of Bonn. In 1690, the regiment was increased to two battalions and fought in the Battle of Fleurus. In 1691, it received a third battalion and participated in the siege of Mons and in the combat of Leuze. In 1692, it took part in the siege of Namur and in the Battle of Steenkerque; in 1693, in the Battle of Landen and in the siege of Charleroi; in 1695, in the siege of Courtrai, in the combat of Tongres and in the bombardment of Bruxelles; and in 1697, in the siege of Ath.

Firstly fantastic painting and a great thread to follow even though it is not my period.
Just one question - Is it my eyesight or are the grenadiers a larger scale or a different manufacturer? I know that they were supposed to be handpicked and taller than their line company counterparts - is this your way of showing that?
-
The grenadiers are from Front Rank where as the rest of the regiment is from North Star Miniatures 1672 range, I like the fact they are slightly bigger which fits the bill nicely.

Thought so, and I agree they certainly are imposing. :D :D

This grey-white is perfect! It really pops! And the flags are superb! Cheers!

Just looking at the last regt and only now noticed the yellow trim on the bloke's hat next to the officer looks a bit odd :?

Excellent unit with a long history! I just now found out that the two companies could be discerned from their horse colors:
In 1664, the two companies were reorganized: one company took the name "Grey Musketeers" (mousquetaires gris) from the color of their matched horses, while the second were called "Black Musketeers" (mousquetaires noirs), mounted on black horses.

Once its painted, Tony is going to use Woodland Scenics Realistic Water, it's a bit pricey, but I think it offers a great finish.

I am working towards a Spanish "regular" brigade and then a second militia non-uniformed brigade, as the Spanish were not keen on equipping they units with standardized clothing. There is also a large Spanish heavy horse brigade in the pipeline, representing the independent companies.

Excellent news! If painted with your standards, will offer a majestic spectacle, for sure!

Balfour's Regiment serving as part of Hugh MacKay's Scots Brigade in Dutch Service. Just as an aside, and apropos of nothing, the Scots Brigade became the 2nd battalion of the Connaught Rangers in a future manifestation. Nice to see their antecedents here. I think I’m right but I stand to be corrected. ::) ???
-
Yes; the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War of 1782-84 (essentially an adjunct of the American War of Independence) caused the disbandment of the Brigade, and the dispersal of the men amongst the 22nd, 23rd and 24th Dutch regiments of the line, with the overwhelming majority of the officers returning to Great Britain and Ireland. Eventually, these officers petitioned the British government to re-raise the Brigade, but the Dutch weren't interested, so they were re-embodied as the 94th Foot in 1784, and sent off to India. In 1881, they were, as you rightly say, combined with the 88th Foot as the Connaught Rangers.

Excellent little bit of potted history there , Baron . I love this combination of Regimental history and beautifully presented figures.

They didn't really, because this is also the beginning of the idea of nationhood. Charles II for example ordered all English and Scottish soldiers to return home, a first in our military history, and if I recall right, if you didn't you had to swear allegiance to the country of your employer because you weren't allowed back.

Superbness in extremis.
But one thing a bit off and that is the fake fur long grass that just seems too long but who cares, way too much grand stuff. I am most impressed by the river and that you - and your terrain maker - stayed away from blue and made a believable river.
Thankfully, not a period that will tempt me, besides it being in the wrong scale. But if I were tempted this thread would be a wonderful inspiration. Actually, already is inspiring since I have a fort in a cliff planned for my pirate collection, a partially damaged Vauban style fort below with an intact one above - and perhaps the other side of a chasm reminiscent of Havana.
Do you own a warehouse!?!? :o
A couple of 'almost a game' photos but when do we see a 'really big game' - and preferably in the tropics!?
Splendid work, sir, very splendid.

I seem to remember a participation game based on the 4 Musketeers holding
an advanced position (ruined house) during a siege. Players were the Musketeers
and could do many actions (load, aim, fire etc) BUT had to eat a cracker after each one.
No drinking allowed. It got very frantic as the Huguenots got closer & closer.
Have you ever tried eating more than two crackers without a drink?

The 1st Battalion Dutch Foot Guards or Gard te Voet or Blew Guards Regiment. By reputation they were probably the superior Grand Alliance unit of the time and heavily involved in all the major campaigns of William of Orange.

So much brilliant artwork in this thread. Great work mate! I need to get some gabions and make a couple of artillery positions like that.

Very nice Lord Raglan! When you say Italian artillery, do you mean Savoyard? Venetian or Spanish Italy ?
Cheers!

great value!
I'm not even go0ing to ask how3 good the book is, it was written by Barry and that is enough for me. Although I don't play the period (or Napoleonics) I've been an avid collector of Barry's books for many a year. I have a copy of Beneath the Lilly Banners edition one that must have been a day old off the presses that i bought at SESWC! I'm still a subscriber to the League of Augsburg blog and one of the few who still post on fighting Talk- all of the 'content' is invaluable in a general sense.
You just can't go wrong in terms of inspiration. 8)

Hello!
Some time ago we had a nice exchange on this thread and since then I’ve been busy with 15mm French. Mostly Khurasan, but I managed to locate some Venexia infantry. The French infantry are mostly blue, with two units still in grey, and a Swiss in red.
The posts have been interesting and the 25’s are simply marvelous. I’m adding a couple of pictures of my 15’s. It’s the best work I’ve ever done.
Best regards
Pete

Great job you've done there! Congrats!

That's it, I am calling this collection done now.
Whole collection photos to follow soon.

Love the Cardinal’s guard unit - they look great 👍
Many congratulations on completing the project. I am actually a bit sad to see you declare it finished as I have enjoyed seeing the regular updates on it as the collection grew. However, I am really looking forward to seeing the final show of the whole project. Will you be having a grand end-of-project game with the collection? That would be a fine thing to see a report on.
Onward to the Italian Wars! :D

Lovely vignette of the Bishop. :-* :-* Looking forward to seeing the whole collection.

It was time to call it at this point, there is over 170 units in total.
I don't think the Italian Wars project will be quite as large, but it will definitely be a big collection.
