Keep Your Powder Dry

A very brief bonus post!

No, I'm not talking about washing your hands on a regular basis, or standing up to meet people, or using personal hygiene products (surely those are all a given?

Yes, you read that title correctly.

Inspired by last summer's holiday to Scotland, and in particular the imagery on display at the West Highland Museum, Fort William, may I present Lord Brechin's Regiment of Horse.

We all have these 'I could just...' ideas about our toy soldiers which usually involve buying even more shiny things™.

Stuart Reid's latest offering via Partizan Press is a regimental history of the Covenanting Armies.

The latest offering from the FK&P* Celtic Fringe team giving us a scenario book.

As it will soon be ECWtravelogue season again, those of you heading out on an ECW 'tour', might be facing a raft of entrance fees, that can quickly begin to mount up.

Having just had a reorganisation of my storage boxes, and realising that my two Scottish armies now had space...

The final instalment of the ECWtravelogue's summer expedition to Scotland.

Happy bloggiversary*!

Spurred into action by Radio 4's Food Programme trotting out the 'Cromwell banned Christmas' line, time for the annual public service clarification...

After a brief sojourn in the Marches, it's back to Scotland for the ECWtravelogue.

Yet another major update for the Shropshire entry (makes a change from all the Scottish travelogue entries of late).

What's this, another Scottish entry for the inappropriately named ECWtravelogue?

The briefest entry for the current rash of Scottish entries.

The inappropriately named ECWtravelogue turns its attention to Lothian, scene of Oliver Cromwell's arguably greatest military victory.

Yet more Scottishness from the ECWtravelogue summer jolly...

Well flabber my ghast.

The latest instalment of the ECWtravelogue summer road trip.

The second of the ECWtravelogue posts from its grand summer Scottish road trip.

Latest behind the scenes update - August '25 After all the tales of woe and gnashing of teeth (see here), I'm very pleased to report that: the BCW Project & Regimental Wiki is back!

The first of rather a lot of Scottish entries to the now rather inappropriately named, ECW travelogue.

Finally!

As the Scots fought on both sides, and regularly changed allegiance it makes sense to just write one Scottish reading list.

Today's post takes a look at a very exciting release from Partizan, that focuses on the flags of the Scottish Covenanters.
