Shouldn't that be...

"I am Colin Donald Maclachlan of the Clan Maclachlan, and I am immortal!"

You're going to need to find someone called Campbell to lead the turncoat baddies  ;)

I was thinking about some English soldiers so I may be able to find someone to play them. I am also wondering if I can fit in some German/Hessian troops?

In 1746 England had mercenaries from Hannover and also Hessians(Kassel). They fought in Scotland and England. So, you can use them.

Excellent looking project, I'll be watching this with interest!

I have to admit I'm a big fan of the Front Rank Jacobites, far superior to the Warlord ECW offerings IMHO...

Excellent start Colon Colin. Thanks for the bit of history as well! ;)

Thatched roof for the cottage? How are you going to go about that? BTW thinking on it....would a dedicated board not be better as opposed to using our existing stuff?

I have some towel for a thatched roof.
Not sure I have the space for more boards

Naomi might be available. Just make sure she leaves her mobile phone at home.

Nice looking start to your project.
