As you know, I am definitely up for that. Have you got a time frame for troops in mind? I am very tempted by some of the figures available at the 1670-80 end of the pike and shot era, but they might be too late. As I understand it from our discussions, I know you don't want to go much earlier than 30 Years War. Any early thoughts on rules, just in case I need to buy a copy of "Pike and Shotte"?
Seconds this query.

I would hope its not too late Tim, I'm considering Tangier Garrison c1660s/70 probably using the Copplestone range

The Copplestone/North Star 1672 range is gorgeous, glorious and a delight to paint, and I have 1 regiemnt already done in them, hence my hoping.

Great! I'll bring me Mexicans - which if I recall Tim wanted?

So we hope. It wasn’t like that last year.
