I have suggested something similar to my folks but they were somehow hesitating...
This is spectacular! I'll show them! Cheers!

Some great brushwork in this thread! And it looks like you had some fun games as well.

Love this thread!
It's a topic I've considered briefly a few times but haven't taken further. There's a great combination of practical advice and inspiration here which is really getting my interest :-)

I painted the Foundry pirates and mixed in the excellent Bicorne ECW figures for variety.  If you look closely you will see them.

 In the games we ran on Saturday, an officer/leader was mounted on a group base With an appropriate flag for easy ID.   In the photo below you can see Officers attached to various units. 

The lead buccaneer group- their grenadoes / incendiaries already have the fuses lit (those are the puffs of cotton affixed to their bombs).  They were lining up to charge the battery protecting the Nombre de Dios shoreline.

Are there some of Foundry’s Mexican villagers armed with machetes in the background alongside the Spanish forces . Great idea , I guess their attire would have been the same in both periods .

Good eyes . I looked around for compatible peasant types and since I was ordering from Foundry these seemed to fit.  Just painted them as generic peons.  Kinda useful for any Central American / Mexican civilians you need.  I used a few as the mule team leaders too.

In the photo below these guys are part of the silver laden mule convoy that just got ambushed by the English buccaneers at the start of one of the games.
