Highland Brigade

I picked up a load of Britains Deetail figures early last year.  All in ceremonial dress, the figures included Guards, bands and these Highlanders.  In all, I have enough to form five 20-figure infantry battalions.  The Highlanders will form a battalion each of Gordons and Black Watch, with the 'spare' pair of officers and trio of pipers making up the brigade HQ.
So why am I sorting them out now?  Because it occurred to me that as long as no-one looks too closely they could be just the lads to add to my forces for the forthcoming Waterloo game.

    That reminds me - a (West) German bloke I knew back in the '80s used to play loud bagpipe music in his car to torment East German border guards.

    Tim,

    I have almost as many Highlanders as you do, and together we could probably field a Scottish Infanty Division.

    All the best,

    Bob
