Just in time (or perhaps a little late) for Saint Patrick’s Day the Irish Piquet’s arrive at Sanders’ Sand Dune. In 1745 the French king send a force of troops from the Irish brigade to aid the Bonnie Prince Charles. Rather than risk any full regiment on this endeavor a selection of volunteers from each regiment to form a single force (each regiment sending the equivalent of a company). These volunteers were known as Piquets and was typical French approach to providing troops for risky operations. All of the Irish Regiments provided volunteers but only three made it to Scotland in the initial wave.
Regiment Dillon
Regiment Lally
Regiment Rooth.
The extra flags help indicate it’s a mix of units it’s a little bigger then works but will in most cases probably operate as three small units.
Points should be 36 for the figures at 2 points per 15mm man the three units come to 18 figures. There might possibly be some additional points for the hand painted flags Sanders Sand Dunes adds another 30 Points for 66 points.

Loving the flags Adam, worth a bonus I think
