It is almost impossible to get everything you want from one manufacturer, and with the exception of Redoubt and Front Rank they mix well. I just keep these in their own units.<BR/><BR/>Most of the infantry are Old Glory (this is one of their better ranges) with some Foundry and Front Rank (mainly crossbows and arquebus types for the latter - very nice) and the odd figure by Essex, plus one unit of Italian pike that, sadly, is not commercially available.<BR/><BR/>Artillery is Old Glory and Foundry.<BR/><BR/>Gendarmes are Foundry, the rest of the cavalry are Old Glory except for two units of mounted Xbow by Redoubt. Mounted arquebus are Foundry WoR prickers with guns added.<BR/><BR/>Nearly all the command figures are Foundry.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>James.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I will, hopefully some time soon, add some tips for Italianising figures and 'flagging'.JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-65751343764202079512008-05-21T21:30:00.000-07:002008-05-21T21:30:00.000-07:00Nice pictures and good game order of battle ...
