Neat stuff, Trent Miniatures?
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

I have seen his poor dice throwing, at times, so I know that Ballykilmene is a loose Gaelic translation of "Barely Kills any of your Men."  :D

Yes they are nearly all Trent, with a few mounted British Officers from Front Rank.

Another great battle report.
A cruel fate, the poor rolling of the die. ;)
I know that feeling all too well.
Thanks for the post.

I thought there was at least an officer made. Perhaps I'm wrong. Not actually got any myself yet but I'll enquire next time I see Duncan at Partizan.
