The figures are from Essex once again, the flags are by myself and I’ll post them soon! 4Fh is also bit 7 of byte address 29h. Ad­dressable bits are useful when the program need only remember a binary event (switch on, light off, etc.). I have posted pictures of the Virginia riflemen within the past month, but had not posted pictures of Dearborn’s Light Infantry Battalion. ISS, IF and single-stepping have been disabled. Boisseleau’s were one of 10 Jacobite Infantry units to have two battalions, others include The Kings/Irish Guard, John Hamilton’s,The Lord Grand Prior’s, Lord Galway’s, Lord Kenmure’s, Col Henry Dillon’s, Cormuck O’Neill’s, Col Edmund O’Reilly’s and coastal mailbox covers Walter Bourke’s. This looked dodgy? Four units of Russian Dragoons facing our rather open right flank? And hassle the Russian right with his artillery and the Rifle Brigade. I knew had have a funny turn with them and I was right! What reason there was for this order we have not been informed, otherwise than that the first design was only but to show the rebels that the King’s frontier garrison was watchful and bold. This is Regimiento de Infanteria Burgos, first raised in 1694. These are 25/28mm Miniaturas Dos de Mayo figures.

My first two regts of Jacobite foot for the Battle of the Boyne, belong to Alexander de Rainer de Droue, the Marquis de Boisseleau’s regiment. He was outlawed and exiled, and died in September 1689. The 8th Baron Louth, Oliver Plunkett, was only 21 when he succeeded to the title in 1689. He joined the Jacobite forces and was outlawed, and was in Limerick at the surrender in 1691. He was pardoned under the Arcticles of Limerick. Matthew Plunkett, the 7th Baron Louth, joined the Jacobite cause in 1689 and commanded an infantry regiment at the seige of Derry. When Charles II returned to the throne in 1660, most of these lands were restored to Lord Louth and to his son, Matthew. Lord Louth, a royalist supporter, was taken prisoner in 1642 and was outlawed for high treason, later forfeiting his lands under the Cromwellian land settlement. Though the Plunketts were deeply involved in the uphevals of the 1640s and 1689-91, they survived with their lands intact.

There is no record of what the 2 battalions true uniform was, others have painted them with red coats and various coloured cuffs and linings. The Guards fought in nearly every of the battle of the war including the Battle of the Boyne, where they had 698 active fighting men all armed with a flintlock musket, the pike being abolished in 1689. Their uniform is stated to be a straw yellow coat with red cuffs. There is no available info on their flag, so I made one up, I kept the flag blue and added the coat of arms for Nassau-Saarbruken and also added the coat of arms for Zeeland in the top corner of the flag, which is a common feature in Dutch flags from the period. Throughout this period there was no flag specific to Iran, although the use of Islamic banners was common. A per usual with this period there’s some conjecture on their uniform, some gamers have painted the unit up in grey coats cuffed red, but I’ve gone for grey, cuffed blue.

In addition to the flags listed above, we have other blank flags and banners available upon order. He marched in the night-time and by dawn of the day he made himself master thereof by the slaughter of a few enemies, and he was going to plunder the place, which was furnished with a good store of money, and had horses and black cattle, the captain received an order from the Major -General to retire immediately to his quarters. He was the Grand Prior of the revived Priory of the English Commandery (Langue) of the Sovereign Military Order of St.John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta, known as the Knights of Malta He was created by his father Duke of Albemarle (the title previously bestowed on General George Monck, 1660), Earl of Rochford and Baron Romney. The Danes were to be under the command of an English officers although Danish Lieutenant-Generals and Major-Generals were to be present at councils of war. The regt fought at the Battle of the Boyne in between the Dutch regt Brandenburg and the English regt Hanmar’s. At the Boyne, Boisseleau’s two battalions fought in Richard Hamilton brigade at the Oldbridge sector of the Boyne, other regiments were King James’ Foot Guards and the Earl of Antrim’s.
