The Battle of Falkirk Muir 1746. Fought on 17 January 1746 between the British Government Army led by Lt. General Henry Hawley and the Jacobite Army of The Bonnie Prince. Not the Bloodiest Battle but interesting to me due to the types of Units fielded, some of the actions that took place and also the chance that you can change the result by gaming it.

I have started my project using orbats for the Battle and the first regiment i have started painting is that of Clan MacDonald of Keppoch. Being a McDonald myself I'm always fascinated by the Gallant death of Keppoch and Culloden and have visited his stone on many occasions. Most of the Regiments that I'm building for this project can also be used for doing Culloden if i ever feel the need.

Stunning work, Iain! I intend to copy your patterns, although they won't look as neat as yours!

I'll be using Black Powder as it's a large scale project. For the smaller stuff i love Muskets and Tomahawks.
