The chap in the cap was the finest King James we had! Historicon 2010 |
With a recent post focused on our play test of Beneath the Lily Banners modifications I got to trawling my archive for previous efforts at recreating the Battle of the Boyne. I have a few!

Adding lots of troops on the north bank made it look very busy. Dumfries 2014 |
Here are some shots of some games large and not so large. Some date back a few years and of course the way we have represented the river has differed a little but all games were enjoyable and pretty.
|
Solo effort by me at Claymore in about 2009. I liked this game a lot |
The models come from the collections of Dave O'Brien, Toggy Bob, Gerry Donohoe, Clarence Harrison, Adrian Howe and myself.
|
Redux at Claymore in 2016 and reduced in size too!
|
The captions do most of the talking in this post so....
|
Historicon in 2010 and Clarence's super terrain - many of these models stayed in the US |
|
CH looking smug whilst I take the heat! |
|
The 2009 game in Scotland - I also did it in Glasgow this year - that was brave! |
|
The half men still get lots of positive comments |
|
Dumfries again and we allowed lots more Jacobite infantry to reach Oldbridge |
|
Terrain by Adrian at Dumfries. Oldbridge was probably too substantial with hindsight |
|
Back to 2016 and the controlled playtest game at Claymore

We've had our money's worth out of the Boyne and that is for sure.
