DBA 15-19K 24.French Huguenot 1562-1640

Finally, we got the time to finish off this army. It's been about two years in the making, collecting little bits here & there. Plus it's from one of those periods were there's very little information. The main book we used was Ospreys French Religious Wars 1562-1598 by Robert J. Knecht. A nice read, but you do despair about the many deaths in the name of religion....

The figures are from a variety of sources, we didn't just go out & buy a complete army. Hence the long time frame, the biggest problem was getting them to look 'right' for the period. Another problem were the flags, not much info either. http://www.myarmoury.com/ was a good source plus a nice post on Huguenot flags by Gary Pomeroyq on the Fanticus forum http://www.fanaticus.org/discussion/showthread.php?t=6242


Finally we're happy with what we have, so here we go then, French Huguenot, 1562-1640.
