Jacobite Cavalry and Dragoons

 

I have a fair few Jacobite Cavalry. Some units were missing.  I thought I’d use up some of the figures left over from the great rebasing to provide the absent cavaliers.

 

Tyrconnell’s Horse second squadron.  Figures from Essex. As befits their proprietor’s key position in providing Jacobite logistics they wear redcoats. 

Sutherland’s Horse wearing French supplied uniform coats.  Uniformity could be patchy in the Jacobite Army.  Figures from Irregular.

The Jacobite Dragoons were solid troops.  They could be deployed on at full strength on foot where their firelocks provided advantage.  At other times they would happily charge mounted.

 

Here are Dongan’s, Clare’s and O’Neill’s Dragoons.  All mounted and on foot.

I intend doing another squadron of Galmoy's Horse and then my Jacobites are complete.  Next, we will see some multi purpose League of Augsburg troops.  Horse, Dragoons and Foot.  Here is a pic' of the Horse to be going on with.

More soon.
