A work in progress (currently taking a back seat to my 1690 Scottish Jacobite army)
Introduction...
Warfare in the early eighteenth century is a new interest for me, and assembling and painting more 'regimented' models is proving very different from my previous interests of Dark Ages and Medieval where every model was different.
The Wars of the League of Augsburg, the Jacobite Wars in Ireland & Scotland of 1680's & 90's, and the Great Northern War give the 'gamer a period in transition, one where although the unit may be uniformly outfitted, different regiments can still sport various coat colours and fields for their standards.
There are several units within the Russian army of this period where officers have different coloured coats from their troops, or different facing colours.
