Photos of Indian Renaissance/18th century troops

 Irregular Indian (or Turkish) artillery which comes on the base to which I have added wheels and Baccus oxen

These are the H&R Roman archers with the crests removed and the helmets painted as turbans. 

These are the H&R Crusade Saracen cavalry; turbaned with lancers and archers. 

Irregular rocketeers with camels. 

H&R Colonial Ansar infantry in turbans & H&R Crusade Saracen infantry with bow and spear. 

Irregular 's Armoured Mughal Elephants with a Jezzail armed Elephant in support. As I emailed the other codes that Irregular do from their ancients range are also suitable like the Macedonian pike armed versions

Irregular's Elephant limber with fuel wagon in support!

H&R Gallic cavalry (with Renaissance Pancerni commander) serving as heavy or noble cavalry. 

H&R ECW Scots musketeers serving as arquebus or matchlock men. They are protected against bow fire behind Irregular pavises - which would also be used by the foot archers. 

Some of Irregular's Indian baggage. 

Irregular Indian Commanders. 

More Irregular baggage and a an Irregular Commander on a litter or doolie? - He has to be a D4!

Battle of Denbigh Green 1645

The game for Thursday is the Battle of Denbigh Green, 1st November 1645. In the wake of Charles I defeat at Naseby and the loss of his cavalry at Rowton Moor, this is the last gasp attempt by the Royalists to gather a relief army for Chester and maintain the King's military struggle.  Can Sir William Vaughan, "the Devil of Shrawardine", defeat Parliament, recruit a final Royalist army in North Wales and land an Irish army in Chester?
A view from Denbigh Castle; the battlefield is away to the right beyond the trees at the bottom of the hill.
