As an alternative:

There is a Blackpowder Last Argument of Kings supplement which has a handful of pages outlining a Jacobite Campaign. I know there was some LAF postings about a Pikemans Lament campaign using these as a basis a while back in early covid times I think.

Also Volley and Bayonet have a Jacobite Rebellion books 1 & 2 which includes a map based campaign and lot of background, although doesn't sound like you need much background.

No idea if there's anything helpful in Martin Hackett's, Rise of the Clans Wargaming Jacobite Guide

Happy Campaigning

Thanks Admiral. I'll look into those.

many years ago, when my eye-sight was much better, & for a challenge,
I painted up Warwick's (THE Kingmaker) personal standard in 25mm.
I also did a Herald in the same, not just on his Tabard, but also on
his shoulder pads.
Managed to track down the picture proof.

My hands were a lot younger then, as was the rest of me, BUT
it is not my hand in the photo. I think it belonged/belongs to JC.

Some steady handed paintwork there Pete.

Just fished my Kingmaker box out of the garage.  Suddenly I’m interested in WOTR…..

Sold on when the club I was then in lost interest in War of the Roses.
I eventually cleared out over a dozen file boxes of medieval figures.
I have retained one box of the bigger 25mm figures (Essex & similar)
that I could push up the painting list. They've been waiting patiently
for over a decade now.
