Flags of War: Flags of War have launched their latest Kickstarter to fund the British Government Troops for the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. Our aim is to deliver the Government troops for you guys to fight against the Jacobite's. During the 1745 Rising the Government troops varied in experience and by Culloden they seemed to have got past many of the mistakes they had previously made in the field. The campaign aims to bring 7 new packs of Infantry Redcoats to the current range as well as the Duke of Cumberland to lead the army.
The pledge levels will allow backers to chose how they wish to build their army to fight the Jacobites. We have also set a number of stretch goals that will unlock more packs of figures as well giving backers free packs of figures they can add to their pledge. Check the full Kickstarter here
We are looking to add the Government Infantry, Government Highlanders and Dragoons to the growing range. The Infantry will be dressed in a campaign-style, this is due to the timeline of the Rising ( August 1745 – April 1746) and the type of weather we get in Scotland...it's bloody cold from September to September up here. In the field, my vision of a soldier would be one trying his best to keep warm and not in his parade ground best. This will mean the tails of the infantry jackets are unbuttoned and the breast buttoned up. The Highlanders will be in the plain red coats they wore pre Seven Years war and great Kilt.
Once these have been funded we will be able to focus on the more specialist troops for the period. The aim after this will be to see Artillery for both sides, Jacobite Cavalry, French/Irish Troops along with character pieces to build on the current figures and give extra skirmish poses.
