French cavalry attack at Neerwinden - Partizan around 2008 |
During the preparations for SALUTE 2015 I have not been able to devote any time to creative activities such as painting. Instead, I spent time tidying up my photo files and trying to sort them into a better order. In so doing, I got browsing and though it a good idea to share.

Jacobites in exile - Irish Horse in Flanders 1693 |
Much of the terrain is Adrian Howe's and one or two of the shots have appeared in magazines and rule books over the years. I still have many of the non Warfare Miniatures units featured in these shots but they don't get out to play as much as they used to.
