Glorious Revolution

For a long time, I have been wanting to game The Glorious Revolution. Don't ask me why, I just thought it would be different.

Recently I found the League of Augsburg website and obtained a copy of Under The Lilly Banners so set to rebasing my figures and adding to them. The basing seems to suit what I am after and the rules are simple to read. I haven't tried them yet but will try to write a report once I have played a game.

The period interests me because it pitted English against English and both sides included in their ranks Irish and French, although William also had with him Dutch and Danish contingents. Thus far I have English and Irish regiments painted up, with a token Dutch unit.

King William of Orange landed in Torbay on 5th November 1688 and thus the revolution began between Catholics loyal to King James and Protestants who sided with William. The main battles took place in Ireland and included many better known battles such as The Boyne and Aughrim.
