I've been intrigued to see the sale of Mark Copplestone's Glory of the Sun range to North Star where it has been renamed 1672. I bought a few French a few years ago but, although I really enjoyed painting the figures, I didn't know what to do with them apart from some thoughts of skirmish games in North America.
Now, however, Orc's Nest in London has started selling this range and so I picked up a couple of packs to paint as English today. Having them so accessible could be very bad indeed and I am planning to paint one English figure in the next week if possible.
What I haven't really been able to establish was whether there were any actual battles between the English/French and Dutch land forces in this period. I suppose we could always go for a fictional conflict based on a successful invasion of Holland rather than the Dutch having defeated the Anglo-French navies.
Whatever, uniform information is very difficult to find...
