Ulster Wargames Society - Zoom presentation by Barry Hilton

Just finished a Zoom meeting via UWS club which had a guest ‘speaker’ in noted wargamer Barry Hilton (of League of Augsburg/Beneath the Lilly Banners fame) about warfare in Ireland in period 1688-1689 (hopefully more to come about rest of the period 1690 onward)

What an excellent idea and an equally excellent presentation it was.

Barry was very pleasant to listen to with great graphic back up (which I was not expecting) I particularly  liked the use of 28mm (?) wargame figures to show infantry and cavalry units on a 1:1 scale, great stuff

Very much a quick overview but with lots of wargaming content and on a sound historical basis.

Couple of screenshots to give a just a flavour

  1. Gary, a very nice wargaming moment, he is such a perfectionist, so watching him on his specialist subject must have been really interesting. I just downloaded his Waterloo 4x4 PDF a few days ago and it is a well presented spot on read.
