More Saxons to the fore

 The Graf Rutowsky Cheveaux Legers are now completed and are ready to join my Saxon army.

Also finished basing a Saxon general and gave him a spare standard bearer just need to sort a standard.




Really like the red with black facings. I need at least two more regiments of Cuirassiers now for the Saxons and more infantry. However it’s back to the Culloden project and next up is Kingston’s Horse.

Whilst talking Jacobite rebellion I just received this in the post 


Bearing in mind there were 10 sieges and numerous small actions there is a lot more to the Jacobite rebellion than just the three battles constantly discussed. Really looking forward to reading this and getting more ideas for games.


Keep safe everyone.

Graham,

Those Saxons are very, very nice. You’re right about the colors; the red coats and black facings makes for a handsome uniform. The pose is very dynamic too, and it all makes for an eye-catching unit.

Thank you for sharing.

A terrific looking unit, Graham. The pose is absolutely perfect for cavalry.
Now do excuse me, I’m off to order a book.

There's a good follow up article on this book on Rod's Wargaming site. An excellent site for all jacobite wargames activities.
