Lace 'n Big Hats

Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

The Portuguese Legion

The Portuguese Legion was in the service of Napoleon from 1807-1814. You have to credit Boney for a serious boost to the Napoleonic miniatures market. There are loads of nice contingents to paint up. It seems that wherever he went he managed to drum up new and colourful units. Perhaps some early toy industrialists slipped him a few shekels?

I now have three battalions of these boys in brown.
