Order of Battle Edgehill...

This will find it's way to the project page, but here is the target/aiming point for the project...

Like most of my projects, I like to base it around a particular battle where possible (Schellenberg/Blenheim; Kernstown; Omdurman; Hampton Roads, etc.) and for this project I have chosen Edgehill, so the units I paint will be from the following (unless I get distracted...  err, petards anyone? 😏)..  

Why Edgehill? No other reason than that I am drawn to the early years of most of the wars I have a specific interest in..  the troops are fresh, equipment is generally less advanced, training is not so good, uniforms more colourful, and all is still to play for...
