1745 Jacobite Rebellion Government forces Kickstarter

[levied troop]

That will be my approach - Sharp Practice. Used v1 for some ‘45 action before and it worked well. Most of my Jacobites are painted, so in theory it’s the easy bit from now on

Mind you, quite tempted by FFoL - they read well, I just need to get some practice games in.

[Antonio J Carrasco]

Oddly, I have decided for a more formal approach. At first, I wanted to collect two Sharp Practice v2 forces. It looked a logical approach, as the 45 is well suited for skirmish games. Then I realized that the size of the battles was such that even Culloden could be fit in a common wargaming table, and I switched to organize my models into battalions/brigades.

I am using a basing system inspired by the one used by Barry Hilton in Beneath the Lilly Banners, which gives me an approximate ratio of 1:20, with 18 models per unit in 6-figures bases of 60x60mm, which gives me a frontage of 18 cms per unit. In a pinch, I can use it with Honours of War or Black Powder. I know that, technically, either ruleset uses different basing systems than I am using, but after reading both of them I don't think I'll need to make too many adjustments to use them.

Anyway, just a few more pounds to go and George II's lads will be ready to fight the Jacobites!

Iain has uploaded the army lists (with TooFatLardies permission, of course!) for SP2, that appeared in the Summer Special 2017.

Hi Everyone

I just want to thank all of you so much for helping to fund this project. We have hit way over the target and unlock two stretch goals.

Unfortunately, we haven't reached the target to unlock the Dragoon command but once the funds have cleared I will be doing my best to see these released. It does take a lot to fund even a simple pack of figures but I like you guys want to see the Command too.

Nick is already working on the figures and I will be keeping you all up to date with the figures as I get updates from him.

Thanks once again

Iain
