Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre Massy who was in command of the 464 Redcoats wrote a trio of letters after the skirmish.

    I just made a small donation and would be very keen on painting some figs for the event - I was planning on crossing the pond to go to Salute in 2014 but will likely change that to attend this event - sounds like a lot of fun!

    Great idea
