More Jacobite Rebellion

The collection continues to grow. Newly added are two battalions of the Atthol Brigade on the Jacobite side, and the Glascow militia on the government side, plus Bonnie Prince Charlie.
On previous projects I would paint a lot of figures at a time. On this one, I am just doing one or two units at a time. I like the pace and the results. I have completed 252 figures so far in 14 units. At the same time, I am still fiddling with adapting Valour and Fortitude to the Jacobite Rebellion. One tweak I have made so far is to raise the tenacity rating on most of the units. In my first test, I found that just about all the units would be spent after just one turn. I think my battles are smaller than what the rules are designed for. I will see how this works out.

Valour and Fortitude Army Sheets for the Jacobite Rebellion

I need some rules to use with my budding collection of 28mm figures for the Jacobite Rebellion. I am using a 1:20 figure ratio, so the units vary in size- 16, 20 or 24 per unit. I only have a brigade done for each side, so my ability to test the rules is limited, but it's a start. Here is what I have so far. Any input would be appreciated.

A New Project

I was able to sell off my 15mm Jacobite Rebellion collection to fund my latest project, the jacobite Rebellion is 25mm. I am going to take my time, doing just a unit or two at a time. I am starting with the infantry and will add cavalry, artillery and more infantry down the line. I am representing the regiments at a 1:20 ratio. Each unit will be on four bases. I am using the Old Glory range. They are painting up well, and with the Old Glory Army discount I am able to afford this endeavor with some cash left over. These are two battalions of government highlanders
This is the first government regiment, the 44th.
These are the Royal Eccossais
And finally, some MacDonalds
