The figures used in the Jacobite Battle Post were 90% Old Glory 15's, with some Essex a few others from Washington's Wars miniatures. The old Glory figures were of course the Age of Reason Line. The Washington War Figs were the two cavalry figures. The green guys aka... The Georgia Rangers, with a complementary Seneca Brave! General Oglethorpe had recruited this squadron for service in Georgia. There was a Seneca warrior or two that was with Oglethorpe while he was in Scotland. The mounted Rangers were almost on their way to the colonies. However, they were drafted into the "45 Rebellion".
The Royal forces in the scenario were as follows...
Class 0 general.
One British line battalion; 16 figs, class 5, British Fire and steadfast.
One composite Light Cavalry Regt. ; 8 figs, class 5, Note, made up of 10th Light Horse, Volunteers. Hessian Hussars and the Georgia Rangers.
One Battalion Highland Independent Companies; class 5, average shoots, wild charge.
Two Battalion's of Volunteers/militia; 12 figs, class 4, average shots, unreliable.
Jacobite Forces in the scenario were as follows...
Class 0 General.
Highlander Regt; 16 figs, terror, Highland charge, poor shots, short range.
Two Lowland Regts.: 16 figs, average shots, wild charge.
Baggots Hussars; 8 figs, irregular cavalry, weak.

Koenig Krieg III... Someware in Scotland 1745...
The Duke of Perth has mobilized some Lowland Scottish regiments and brought with him a Strong Highlander regiment. His force is moving toward the city of Sterling. Hopefully to catch the Royal forces off guard and overrun the fort there. The munitions and supplies as were as the fort would be a great help for the rising clans!
However, the Royal forces got wind of the Scottish advance and concentrated all the local militia and volunteer regiments in the area. As well as the British 15th regt of foot stationed at Sterling.
The British army marched north until their pickets came upon the Scottish army deployed on a small hill. There was only one thing to do. Drive those lowly Scottish rebels from the hill and run them down!
As for the Scots, well they had a strong defensive position. Come on and try to drive us from our position....
The game started with a strong British advance. The combined light cavalry regt charged the lowlanders on the hill but were driven back... The British light horse was chased away from the field by Baggots hussars. Next the British main line came up and due to some good initiative rolls was able to blast away the Highland regt.... as well as the lowlanders. The lowlanders shot away at their foes. But they could not stop the British advance. Even a charge to the rear of the British line by Baggot Hussars was driven back. Baggots hussars just did not have the metal to overtake the Edinburgh regt of volunteers!
In the end the British drove the Scots from the hill and from the field as well...
It was a fun little game, using the Koenig Krieg III Highland army list... not official.
Next game, lots of Highlanders.... Bonnie Prince Charlie is moving up with the main Scottish army!
