Good stolid infantry. Not the swiftest though. Very flash Light Infantry, and superb details on their colours. Not sure how much you have on them but if you want any pictures or info just ask.

I have a Wargames Foundry/ Perry Yorkist Army with a small Bergundian contingent, and a Ghost white Lancastrian army. Only two households painted as yet. Came to a halt when I took over running Sails...
Good on you.
It might tempt me to get out my French and Indian setup again.
Been languishing in the loft for far too long.
Rob.
Would this involve the war of 1812 perchance Jason/
Rob.
Maybe something for the Autumn.
At present I'm doing stuff for Doncaster.
Don't let me hold you back though.

I get much the same result as Nelson.:wink: It's the optic nerve which is damaged.
Rob.
Thanks for the heads up Jason.
Bit too much to pay for a book to read as a passing fancy though.
With my failing eyesight I can't concentrate on reading on line for any length of time especially if...
You will Jason, you will.
Rob.
That will do very nicely Jason.
Just a matter of finding a couple of Sloops for conversion then.
Rob.
No doubt you are correct Jason.
Just that I can't use the only named pair that I have for the HEIC.
Rob.
Thanks Jason.
They demised a bit early for my period of operations for the Solo Campaign in the area then.
A shame because they look very fine vessels.
Rob.
Got any pictures Jason. Written descriptions do not seem to be very clear in distinguishing them. All I know is that the HEIC had a couple of Grabs both named Bombay.

Different times, different moral ethics.
Best left as an historical learning curve I would say. What happened, can't be undone but we hopefully learn from our mistakes? This is not the right place...
Also here is a list to get your teeth into.

And this may also be of some interest.

This bit of light reading turned up just now.

Nothing at the moment, but I will do a search as soon as I'm feeling a bit more chipper.
Rob.
This is also quite interesting.

We must get our heads together then Chris. I have one in the pipeline for Doncaster.
Rob.
Thanks chaps.
I just ordered both those books from Amazon.
Rob.
That is not one that I have read.
Looks like a good starting point.
Thanks again Jason.
Rob.
Thanks very much Jason.
I will bear in mind your kind offer. There is bound to be something as I write my way through this year's adventures. I will certainly have a look at at least a couple of...
You are indeed a useful chap to have alongside then Jason.
I know a considerable amount about the HEIC, both from reading, and gathering information in order to run my solo games. This however is...
Strange thing that Daniel.
Have a look at this post of mine from yesterday.
