New books and Royalist recruits...

Some new books arrived recently in the Duchy-

Incidentally I bought a copy of the Wisden magazine uptown today and can thoroughly recommend it.

 Now for the Royalist recruits- at the rear of the photo a unit recruited from farmers and agricultural workers- those scythes look nasty, two units of pike and shot ( I have packed in more pikes on the bases as the look appeals to me and it is possible with the older figures giving a pleasing dense feel to the base) units. At the front of the photo are the estate gardeners with their pruning hooks and hedge knives.
