More Dragoons ...
The second of my planned dragoon regiments is now finished. I had my table setup for a 18C 40mm game, so I thought I'd re-use the setup to pose the dragoons getting into position. Riding down the road ...
And deployed in front of the church ...
[figs: All Irregular Miniatures, some of the dismounted dragoons are converted musketeers.]
With the possible exception of the clocks on the church tower, the terrain is quite usable as ECW terrain . . . and, of course, I echo the other comments about the appearance of everything.
As Jeff says the clock on the church tower looks out of place.
I thought so too till I did a little bit of research. There are a number of church clocks in the UK which date from the early 17C - they most probably orginally had one square clock face, with maybe just an hour hand.

It may be worth searching the web for sites who stock the kits for the church I used - seach for
Hornby R599 Country Church kit
Hope you find what your looking for
