I finished reading my copy of Raising the Clans last night. I thought it was well worth the read and I quite liked the authors writing style with lots of personal opinions and comments and he clearly has bags of enthusiasm for the subject. It is not just a rehash book. The only slight quibble is that there are a number of typo errors in the book which really should have been picked up by the editor and surprisingly in the bibliography he does not mention the books by Duffy eg the ’45.

The rules seemed fairly straight forward and I did like the emphasis he placed on the weather as this seemed to be a crucial factor. On figures Crann Tara all the way. Strangely the range is not mentioned in the book.

Regards,

Guy

European SYW and WAS although I am detouring into the ’45 due to the Crann Tara figure range. I would echo many of the comments/reasons given above but I would also say that over the last say 10-15 years, the mid 18th century does seem to engender some fascinating online blogs/commentary and this has been a great encouragement for me.  The Minden range of figures has also ticked all the boxes for me. So when I started wargaming/collecting properly 40 odd years ago, I was slavishly copying Peter Gilder’s Napoleonic set up. Now I am influenced by the blogs of Jim Purky and John Ray.

regards,

Guy
