Wargaming has been very slow here just lately, due to a variety of [s]excuses[/s]reasons. However, we managed to get a game in last weekend at the open day of a local club I'd never been to before; the Haverfordwest Gaming Club. The scenario was the Battle of Clostercamp 1760 and we had a cracking game, as well as meeting a few old friends, some of whom we'd thought were dead! However, it seems that they'd just 'passed on' to another club.
I'll post the scenario and game report for Clostercamp once Wordpress sorts out the faulty editing toolbar, but here's a taster:
As part of the build-up to Clostercamp, as well as a forthcoming refight of Warburg, I'm currently undertaking a massive expansion of my French, British, Hessian, Hanoverian and Brunswicker armies, including these Hessians (though still only with one fully-working eye, which is a bit challenging). There's a lot more on the blog:

I'll second that "Woof!" and add a few "Bow-wows!" and couple of "Roughs!" Definitely the dog's danglers.

That really is great, you've a superb collection now Mark that is up there with your Napoleonics
Re: Some SYW Hessians
"a massive expansion", Mark? I believe a human can't truly comprehend the concept of infinity.
I'd suggest a massive expansion of your already huge armies is also fundamentally beyond comprehension.
But well done, as usual.
