An army cannot work without its commander, so here are both sides for the Battle of Almansa in 1707
The English, Portuguese and Dutch
The English/Portuguese/ Dutch army was led by a Frenchman
Henri de Massue, 2nd Marquis de Ruvigny, Earl of Galway, accompanied by the Wing Commanders, General Thomas Erle, General John Shrimpton, Lieutenant General Charles O'Hara, 1st Baron Tyrawley, Dutch General Friesham, Portuguese Cont de Alayda, Marques de Minas, General Villaverde and Don Juan de Alayda.
The Franco/Spanish army were led by an Englishman!
James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick, 1st Duke of Liria and Jérica, 1st Duke of Fitz-James
The Duke of Berwick was the illegitimate son of King James II by Arabella Churchill, sister of the Duke of Malborough.
Berwick was ably assisted by Lt Gen Abre, Lt Gen Hessy, Marques d'Avaray, Lt Gen Labadie,
Lt Gen San Gilles, Lt Gen D'Asfled, Duque de Popoli and Maj Gen Vincentelo.
So to the points
There are 2 bases 2.5mmx2.5mm@2 points each = 4
and 16 bases 2mmx2mm@ 1 point each = 16
So a grand total of 20 points!
Command stands look great Ray, they have come out really well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie.
DeleteLooks good. Probably a good idea to label them - they are so tiny, after a while you might forget who they are.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Alex.
DeleteGreat work sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal.
DeleteNicely done Ray. There are certainly plenty there.
ReplyDeleteThere are!
DeleteMore nice work Ray and the basing really helps make them pop. The commanders are almost as confusing as the WotR....a Frenchman with an Irish peerage leading the Allies, and a bastard Englishman with a Scots peerage leading the Franco/Spaniards!
ReplyDeleteI know, crazy isn't it?
DeleteRay, you continue turning-out tiny troops at a tremendous tempo.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying Jonathan!
DeleteExcellent work Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Neil.
