Barry Hilton (League of Augsburg) has kindly written an article featuring some of my Dutch War collection:

Ought to be a real source of pride Gareth.  8)

Barry is one of the most enjoyable writers in the business.

Not really relevant here  but his WI articles always have me creased. A real wit.

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.

Just 2 Italian infantry units, half dozen vignettes and some more French artillery to paint and I will call it at that for the moment.
