I would have loved to see the series as I am into both highwaymen and pirates. Unfortunately it was not available to non-UK residents. Any idea if it will be available on DVD or something?

Also, regarding the Outpost Wargames Highwaymen I can concur: They are great! This is (part of) my collection (painted by the awesome Simon Bradley)



That layout is sensational - some of the best terrain and figure painting and also very atmospheric.

Agreed! So much atmosphere in that photo. It's the kind of thing that reminds me that good-looking miniatures and good-looking terrain are always a worthy pursuit in the end. Once all the pieces are in place, you have an immersive world to enjoy - in this case, a world of 18th century roguish adventure in a beautifully drab milieu of taverns and quaysides.

Thanks a lot, guys!

I wish there were more suitable minis for a highwaymen setting. Although the Outpost Wargames range is quite large.

Also, I guess for a 18th century setting other buildings than those medieval timer-framed ones would be in order.
