Or this site in Spanish (I think- not sure):

Well, it is not spanish (castillian) but catalán but indeed is a website about the Spanish Succession War   :wink:

perhaps the Tortuga scenario should start in 1645 when the acting French governor imported 1,650 prostitutes to try to get control of the buccaneers!

yeah, there are different ways to conduct your inner politics... ::

but to match with most of the available minis I will have to go to a little later time (but shure I will need some "ladies" for the island).

I thought that it might be Catalan, as it didn't look like Spanish or Portuguese to me.  I had heard about a Catalan language, but had never seen it in print and had never heard it spoken.  Since a lot of the subject matter focused on Catalonia I thought there was a possibility that the website was in that language.  I suppose the aspirations of Catalonia to independence from Spain make the events of the War of Spanish Succession of interest there.

If you go with English Civil War and Thirty Years War figures, those are perfect for 1645.  Also many of the Three Musketeers type swashbuckling figures that are coming out now from companies like Brigade Games and Blue Moon would be perfect for 1645.

Look at this older thread for useful figures for "ladies" in a swashbuckling context:

I didnt so much mean the military guys but the pirates that are sold...

Sure, the painting and figure info is nice, but what about something to listen to while slapping the paint on? I suggest the free audio book of Sabatini's "Captain Blood"!

Thanks for all of the great info everyone.

It is worth watching TAG as they are producing a huge range for 30YW and for Spanish going back to Italian wars forward for Wars of religion etc.

For early stuff too the OG Wars of Religion are nice figures too not the usual size either, much larger
