Yes they are nearly all Trent, with a few mounted British Officers from Front Rank.

Probably nearer the truth than you think, John. ;)

I thought there was at least an officer made. Perhaps I'm wrong. Not actually got any myself yet but I'll enquire next time I see Duncan at Partizan.

Title: Re: The Bridge at Ballykilmene
Post by: The Gray Ghost on July 07, 2014, 09:10:35 PM: I have some of the British infantry and artillery and the height varies between the range, the infantry are taller and thinner than the artillery.
The artillery scale well with Trent, the inf taller, don't know about the Scots
also the light dragoons work well with Trent
