Ayton 18th Century Extravaganza - Roll Call!

[Tim Hall]

I'm also bring forces for Hotel and Whisky. They are, respectively:
. 4 'British' infantry brigades and 1 'British' cavalry brigade, with 2 guns in total, from the forces of Britannia commanded by General Sir Edward Hangem-Floghem.

Many thanks for the generous loan of these most excellent forces Gary. I should add that in addition to these fellows, Duke Karl von Framlingheim, sometime Duke of Braunschweig, Commander of the Armies of his Royal Highness, the Sultan of Byzarbia, and President for life of the Byzarbia Cricket Club, will be venturing on to the field (in a purely advisory capacity) accompanied by one squadron of the Gentlemen Pensioners of the Braunschweig Kurraserie, and some personal retainers.

You mean the plastic blokes with the metal heads?

Just had a muster, happy to distribute brigades to other players as required. I will be bringing:-

Prussian

General Count von Ludwig

3 Brigades of Heavy Cavalry (2 x Prussian, 1 x Russian, call them deserters from Mother Russia)- 3 units each)
3 Brigades of Infantry (Prussian - 3 units each)
3 Field Guns (Prussian - 1 gun attached to each Infantry Brigade)

I can also bring along as extras if anybody needs some figs-

1 Brigade of Infantry ( Austrian)
1 attached Field Gun

[Buff Redux]

The Empire of Russlavia and the quasi-autonomous Duchy of Borscht have mustered the following forces.
CinC General Count Notgudinoff

2 Infantry brigades, each 1 battalion of Grenadiers, 2 battalions of line infantry and 1* gun.
1 brigade of horse, comprising 1 regt. of Horse Grenadiers, 1 regt. of Dragoons and 1 regt. of Cossack lancers +1 gun.

Also 3 companies of Pandours, available to hire as baggage train guards. Hire these fellows and there is no chance that the enemy will loot your baggage train. well, if they do they won't find much.

*Regarding this 1 gun per brigade nonsense, if I don't tell anybody about Shuvalov's Secret howitzers can I bring them along?

Perfect, we can team you up with Purps who's also bringing Prussians. He's a keen re-enactor of Old Fritz himself so he's got the knee-pads and everything.

[World2dave]

Thanks Buff, sounds excellent.
If you can keep a secret, we can too. They can deploy in the tree behind Simon's army, with Andy's Indians.

[Jeremy]

Purps is a keen proponent of rum, sodomy and the lash, but hold the rum. Proper Freddy style

I refer to the expertly converted and elite heavy cavalry that dominated the battlefield in 2011.
