From RayR - Almansa 1707 - English - Carpenter's Brigade 13pts

Last one from me today....I think?

Guess what? More 2mm tiddlers!

Here we have another English brigade, this one is led by Carpenter, like Killigrew's Brigade they fought in the 1st line of the left wing under Gen Tyrawley.

Once again the flags are purely speculative and are from my NYW collection.

The regts in this brigade were Guisgard's (La Fabreque) Dragoons, Essex's Dragoons, Carpenter's Dragoons and the only English Horse regt that fought at Alamansa Harvey's Horse (2 squadrons of)

All this hard work doesn't get me many points. Each base is worth 2.5 points, giving me a total of

12.5 points, the Brigadier id worth 1/2 point.

So that makes a total of 13 points.

Last one... you think? At this rate, I forsee a worldwide lack of 2mm models for the next few months. It looks like your French and British cavalry are a bit more evenly balanced now. Well, I'll keep my eye on the drafts section of the blog, but I'm going to give my failing eyes a bit of a rest.
