The League of Augsburg

Ah! The Boyne.. new, this will be fun

After a traumatic evening digging out my friend's car from snow and ice and preventing it sliding down a hill in a 'run of chaos'  I decided to recover by spending a mindless hour playing Pike & Shot which I very much enjoy particularly since they added the 'Campaign' package featuring our period.

Uniform colours and accurate flags.. even better!

I always check...

Charging Swedish Life Guards from Warfare Miniatures

Who knows what this year will actually bring but like everyone else, we're making plans! So having done the retrospective a few days ago let's look to the future now (in the words of Noddy Holder)....

Starting with the planned shows. The League of Augsburg calendar looks as follows:

Prestonpans 20th February.  The game is Killiecrankie 1689
Tactica,...

Clarence Harrison - Two stands down...

one to go - well, four to go because I need two battalions of these jokers, but I will consider it a victory to finish one!

Clarence Harrison - Work in progress...


I have a long weekend thanks to the holiday and I am really hoping to finish this unit over the next few days...

Three new Quindia Studios flag sheets will be available in the LoA shop later this week...

2. Known...

More American AWI flags are now available in the LoA store!

According to legend, Betsy Ross was approached by General George Washington and George Ross, Betsy's uncle. However, Betsy Ross's role...

The Gostelowe Return flags are now available in the LoA shop. If you order both sets, we will send the 13th flag (rumored to be carried by the 1st New York in 1777) free...


The standards of the Gostelowe Return are named for Major Jonathan Gostelowe who prepared an extensive inventory (or 'return') of arms and other military supplies on...

Soon there will be more French Infantry flags circa 1693 available in the LoA store...










As usual, you may order them Heroic LoA size (50x50mm), Bold Quindia Studios size (40x40mm), or Humble Realistic size (30x30mm).

'Heroic' scale Quindia GNW Russian flag

Barry Hilton - Flags are often the aspect of a wargaming unit which first catch the eye of the observer. The standard is the icing on the cake when it comes to modelling and I usually leave it till everything else is done. It's effectively a 'full stop' in terms of effort.

Clarence Harrison - This time we've added a selection of French Horse from 1692-93 that fought in the battles of Steenkirk and Neerwinden.
