Bagot's Hussars

Another unit for the Jacobites. This time 'Bagot's Hussars' also known as the 'Scotch Hussars'. They saw a lot of action in the '45, and were used extensively as scouts. They are by no means battlefield cavalry, but as the Jacobites were very short of cavalry, it's probably appropriate to model them, rather than a unit of FitzJames, which would be better than the Government Dragoons. It would be a little odd if the Jacobites had superior cavalry!

The figures, like virtually every other one in the army, are from Flags of War. The forces are creeping up in size.
