Double use ECW figures

[ochoin]

Just surfing when I came across the following:

I *have* Argyll as my Covenanter commander. I also have such a unit (sans the blue bonnets) in my English ECW army. They’re Tumbling Dice figures.
Now I could buy the command figures ( EW36 https://www.keepyourpowderdry.co.uk/202 ... op-of.html ) and add bonnets & a suitable flag or just use them, as is, as Covenanters.

And, best of all, not only will they look great but because fully-armoured cuirassiers are below average cavalry (ie *not* cavaliers) , they’ll fit right into my below average Covenanters.

Comments?

Makes sense. My ECW figures can do do dual duty with a swap of commanders

you could do them a german command group and use them for 30yw as well.

I actually started with the Swedes in TYW, then changed what I'd done to the ECW; specifically into an English Royalist army, then added my beloved Covenanters to fight them.

Swedish TYW flags were pretty nice, you get a lot more armour and artillery (leather guns, I mean, leather!) and you get generals who really know their stuff. How can this compare to dour Lowlanders, mostly dressed in brownish grey, the worst cavalry imaginable and generals who largely suck or were beyond their UBD? I know which I am more at home with.

I have a Tumbling Dice/Kennington TYW/ECW regiment which has only ever served as LoA period militia.
