When the Claymores did Weald - A '45 Rebellion Campaign

 


Current Roll Call

The Hanoverians

Ear-marked to play HRH Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland is Mark, he is currently overseas fighting the French in Flanders 

Mikey as to be Field Marshal George Wade, based in Newcastle at the outset of these troubles 

Phil will re-enact General Sir John Cope, known as 'Johnny on the Spot', he is based in Edinburgh with a small force of regulars.

It will be a team effort though, all of the Hanoverian Team should discuss and agree their plans.

The Jacobites

John is likely to be Lord George Murray and is rumoured to be bringing at least one battalion of the Appin Brigade to meet the Boy who would be king...

Paul will play Colonel John William O'Sullivan, Prince Charles personal military advisor and officer in the French Army. 

Dave will play the hairy Alexander McDonald of Keppoch chieftain of the mighty Clan McDonald who has said he'll personally lead his Clan Regiment in support of the Prince. 

Nigel is still considering his exact portfolio 

We're awaiting Steve & Rupert's decisions on participating as additional Rebellious Jacobites, maybe playing the Drummond brothers. If Steve is baulking at being a Scot he could be a rebellious English Jacobite, if they manage to get as far as Manchester and Rupert could end up commanding the French contingent, if they get onto play.

Again, this should be a team effort! Discuss, Decide & Support...

Look out for updates over the next few days and outlines for the opening scenario / situation:
