A Scottish soldier.
And a squadron of Republican French Hussards. Can they take him? Should he take his musket off his shoulder now?

Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

DeletePoor Frenchies - they don’t stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, they are awfully excited.
DeleteA Scotsman interrupted going about his peaceful business - its gonna be a bad day for the French.
ReplyDeleteLet them enjoy the moment though.
DeleteThe cavalry may be outmatched... The unit looks good; another 11 Highlanders next?
ReplyDeleteIs the kilt regimental?
ReplyDeleteDepends on which way you mean it. The tartan is the Government Sett, better known as Black Watch but worn initially by several units. Its his red hackle (a few years premature) and the Blue facings of a Royal regiment that mark him as Black Watch. But if you're asking what he's wearing underneath, well......
