Sir Marmaduke Fenwick's regiment of foot, which had mustered at Bradford-On-Avon, marches to Wallingborough to join the rest of the royalist forces assembling there.

Dragoons move forward down the road....

Sir Hippisley-Cox's regiment of foot.

Sir William de Willoughby has been busy re-organising the royalist foot. With his own regiment mustering at Pokesay, he has come up to Wallingborough to inspect Sir Hippisley-Cox's regiment of foot.

[This grey coat regiment is the first of my re-organised regiments of foot that I've completed - with some repainted additional figures left over from combining other regiments].

Both sides start to gather their forces ....

Sir William de Willoughby checks out his recently formed small body of cuirassiers.... this will strengthen the royalist horse.

---oXo---

 

Meanwhile in the south of Wiltshire, Sir Warwick Hunt with some cuirassiers and horse escort parliamentarian artillery from Southampton to Sarisbury.

Re-organizing - work in progress ....

I've been busy reworking my ECW collection over the last couple of weeks. All the single based figures, dragoons, artillery and wagons have had their bases refreshed with static grass. I've been focussing on the horse regiments - one regiment of horse and a couple of officers done

 The rest of the horse regiments have been re-done in units of 12, they just to have the static grass added to the bases ...

To have a rest form messing about with bases I've done a first set out of an enlarged foot regiment ....

initial idea is 8 pike / 16 musket with three command stands: commanding officer & ensigns, two off drummer & officer with partisan.

Will be carrying on with the re-organisation over the next couple of months. Will try and fit units as they are finished into the campaign 'story line'.
