Another fun idea from Wargames illustrated August 2019 edition.
Bonus use of my pike and shot units to mix in with my early 18th century kit.
Me thinks an attack on Languard fort is in order. Just need to find the time to do so.
I have a castle which can fill in as the coastal fort.
The Dutch can be in blue coats from my 1640s style while the English will be in Red.

Over the hills and far away: UK assault on South Africa 1807
Inspiration from my favorite author and the old osprey publishing book on the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
This project I plan on doing during 2020, I got sidetracked in 2019.
My research will be to fill out units for the Dutch, the British are mostly ready to go.
The Dutch troops will be a mix of my blue coated American's who wore a similiar uniform to the dutch, and adding in some AWI militia types as I'm sure that the Dutch settlers were not up on the fashions, having spent most of their time trying to farm to survive.
My British force will be a mix of the 1790s and 1800 troops that I still have.
more to come hopefully shortly

Dutch Film Michiel de Ruyther
I found this on Netflix, and the English title is The Admiral. It is set during the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the 17th century. I might find some interesting bits for skirmishing in this.
