English dragoons of the late 17th century




While on the subject of our favourite Lawson's here are a couple more really evocative pieces. Dragoons really were dragoons in this era, which I suppose means duplicate figures on the table - unless figure designers did a pairing like the Lawson Horse Grenadier below. Would that work?

    I have the old partizan press book on Sedgemoor by John Tincey. Do you know if the new partizan book has a lot of new information or is it more a case of a glossy/colour approach?

    p.s I am sorely tempted by the File Leader option...

    I don't know - I haven't seen the new version - I suppose there's only so much information but then it depends how well thumbed your old version is
