1745 Jacobite Rebellion Government forces Kickstarter
« on: August 17, 2019, 06:46:29 AM »
Hi

Just to let you know that Flags of War has activated its Kickstarter for the Government forces for its 1745 Jacobite Rebellion range:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/government1745/1745-jacobite-rebellion-british-government-troops/comments

I participated in the previous KS (Jacobite forces) and it was a good experience. The models are excellent, very well casted and very dynamic. Also very important in my opinion, the pledges were sent after a very small delay from the date mentioned in the KS, barely a couple of weeks (if it was that long!).

Best!

Backed the Jacobites & they are excellent.
Unfortunately bought a Government army in the meantime.
Greatly tempted by the Government Scots though.

I bought into the Jacobites, though much to my shame they are yet to see a lick of paint. When payday rolls around, I will be buying into this one too.

Don't miss this Kickstarter.
The figures are superb and Iain is excellent to deal with.

Just shy of 74% now. Some promotion work going out today hopefully from WS&S and WI. I have submitted details to a couple of other sites but have yet to hear back :)

Some notes from Iain about wargaming the 45.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/government1745/1745-jacobite-rebellion-british-government-troops/posts/2602903

One of the things that attracted me of gaming the 45 (besides enjoying the opportunity of painting tartans, the BDSM of wargaming) was precisely the myriad of potential scenarios, from small skirmishes to Culloden. By the way, although Iain doesn't mention it I think that the black powder variant of Fistful of Lead also fits perfectly in the 45

 lol Bloody hell! Is there anything Fistful of Lead won't stretch to?
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

As you know Vodkafan it is who you play with & not the rules that is the most important.
A nice (i think very nice) set like FFofL or Reb & Pats played with mates is a fun afternoon,
but a perfect set of rules (if there is such a thing) played with:-
Rules Lawyers; Numpties;  Time wasters & such
is definitely not fun.

One of the Lardies supplements, (summer special 2017) includes rosters and info to do the '45 using Sharp Practice 2. It would seem to be ideally scaled for many of the small actions, and very character driven events of the period.

That's my plan anyway...
