This is fantastic. I just found out about this series. And I'm building Jacobite forces in 28mm. This is great. Thanks!

Very professional looking campaign. I plan to play the battle of Prestonpans using the 45-rules of Honours of war by Keith Flint. But I'm waiting for the highlanders to complete more then their cavalry. Your campaign and small combat are explained very well. Cheers from High Germany!

Thanks! The campaign system is working well so far, so let's see what happens next!

Heartily recommend. Watched entire series. Battle reports proceed without getting into the weeds--showed only a couple dice rolls in the entire series. Aaron delivers the account as if real history and draws in the viewer. "Sets" and miniatures are beautiful. A lot of loving work went into this top-notch production. As an American, I had some trouble following the routes of the armies--my British geography is weak--but still enjoyed. BTW: On this side of the Pond, we pronounce the dastardly Hessians "Hes-shuns" and remember them as "hirelings" in our War of Independence. Heavier losses among their numbers in the Jacobite Uprising would have fine with us! Anyway, a very professional job. Thanks. (Have you done anything else?)

Fabulous! The figures are from Glags of War? They seem simliar to the ones I have from them, although yours are painted ... lol. Looking forward to viewing more of the campaign, congrats!😎👍

i would have crossed the mountain and ambushed macleod from the flank when his regiment was halfway across the bridge.
