Let's see - the 100 years war ended sometime around 1450 IIRC; the
Civil Wars were fought roughly 1640-1645...

Not, it's not that far off. Not much worse than depicting all of Schwarzkopf's
Desert Storm soldiers in Continental Army uniforms,
anyway ;-)

Later,

Why is it that every Francophile has the complete imperial guard.

And how many times I have killed them, I just cannout count.

Bye for now,

I also usually play the Brits, but once had the distinct pleasure to break the
British right at Waterloo in an abbreviated game (the premise was the Guard
was tied up against the Prussians and the Emperor had to make do with what he
had). It was amazing to see the Highlanders pushed back (after a shit load of
French casualties and and fold up the British. We used Napoleon's Battles for
the rules that day.

Seriously though... I do more "generic medieval" gaming than "historical"
anyway...The figures looked so cool, so I bought a set. I might get some more
some time...
