I am a bit behind schedule with my wargames photographs, I realised, with all my visits to museums and heritage railway lines. September was a Sun King month and I did manage some painting as well as several games (Wimpfen and Tanaro - see earlier posts).
I completed a field gun and crew; these units are used by either side in a game, artillery in the 1670s not really having an official uniform, as far as I can tell from the sources I have read and seen.
I also completed for my French army the Condé cavalry regiment, two squadrons, as was the case for most line cavalry units at this time. The prince de Condé's colour was a type of buff, so I used this for sashes, plumes and shoulder ribbons. The flag is the closest I could find, from Maverick Models, though I think it is more accurate for early 1700s. Figures are from North Star 1672.
