Latest Dutch Units

I realized that if I wanted to start gaming Maurice I really needed to get more units completed for my 6mm War of Spanish Succession (WSS) project.  I made a minor basing change - originally I had based my first two units on four individual 25mm square Renedra bases.  After playing one game with these, I decided to switch to 50mm by 25 rectangular bases, two per unit.  I made the change for two reasons: 1) the bases were two thin for such small units - it's easier to pick up the 3mm thick bases and 2) the bases just look better on longer rectangular bases.

After that decision was settled, I had to decide on what regiments to paint them in.  In the end, I went with another regular unit representing Nassau-Usingen, and a grenadier unit from Orange-Friesland.

Here's a few pics.
