1,100 figures in the collection
The Jacobite collection has steadily grown. It now stands at over 1,100 figures. I will be adding 60 more in the next month, but that should be it. However, I have said that before. Here is the entire collection.

Additional Units for the Jacobite Rebellion
The truth is, I thoroughly enjoy painting up these Old Glory figures. The units come together rather quickly, and the Flags of War banners add so much to each unit.
My most recent additions are four regiments of foot and fleshing out the Irish Picquets into four full battalions. I also had some extra artillerists from the Christmas
project for my grandsons, so I added two French guns as well. I am imagining that, somehow, the French were able to get past the British blockade and land a full contingent
into Scotland. The collection has burgeoned into a mass of 1,050 figures! I had painted up my Atholl Brigade as highlanders. Further research has revealed that they were, in
fact, lowlanders. So, I just placed an order for 60 lowlanders. What is now the Atholl Brigade will take on new identities by becoming clan regiments.
Here are the new additions:

More Jacobite Rebellion Action
I got all the figures in the collection out on the table for another go at The Rising of the Clans. Prince Charles's army had the unenviable task of trying to break the government line deployed along a road with a stone wall along its edge. As I believe was farily historical, the clans have initial success if they can close with the British, but will have difficulties if there isn't support to follow up that success.
I really enjoy painting these Old Glory 25mm. So much so, that I have ordered up another batch. I will add all four regiments of the French Irish brigade as well as four more British regiments plus two batteries of French guns. I have also ordered standards from Flags of War. I am really looking forward to adding these to the collection in order to fight out a variety of scenarios.
Here is what I have so far.
The Lowlanders advance to support Roy Stewart
The Macdonald clans advance to attack Wolfe's brigade.
Murray's brigade has some success against Mourdant's men.
The Manchester regiment has its baptism of fire
Roy Stewart's men close with Lascelle's brigade in the center.
