...the reason that the regiment has two colonel's colours is that when the Carignan and Salieres regiments merged, in 1659, neither colonel was prepared to give up his standard, but luckily they got permission to keep both. This tradition lasted until 1718! I think that makes it unique.

Yes my Dutch guns are red. I think the colour of French guns is uncertain? I have seen red and blue. I went with Hall for the grey French uniforms, and mixed in some civilian clothes.

Oh very cool! I often visit it. I am very excited about the Franco Dutch War; that is why i am writing my new rules.

I'm using the Robert Hall Flags and Uniforms book- it is very helpful, although many details are uncertain, down to the colour of the guns. I used Warfare Miniatures cannon- they are lovely models!

...in Lust for Glory, the presence of the fusileers will stop the guns being automatically removed when charged.

Those are lovely! I'd not thought of metal head on the Victrix bodies- will try that!

...the square bases are FK&P06s, for my 1672 project. The others are for Glorantha.

Very nice! I am not entirely sure what a Voynuk is, but am now asking myself why I don't have any of them. ;-)

Did you see the recent Hugenot flags on the Not By Appointment blog? He's coming up with some very nice designs. I plan to do Ireland, one day, here.

Later this week, I'll try to take some pics of units I finished previously

...I could have done the battalions with 18 or 19 minis, but I wanted a bit more mass.

Another 1672 brigade forming up, this time the French and Swiss guards. I still need to mount the officers and sergeants, flags etc. Mostly painted for me, some years ago, by Chris Campion.
