3rd Showcase: AWI - The Americans (and friends)

Proudly presenting the Americans and (some French) of the American War of Independence, about nine regiments and two medium guns and 3 heavy siege (their actually usable for both sides) ... 2 French regiments, riflemen, and the Stockbridge Indians and the 3rd dragoons ... more Militia is tempting, but then the rustic uniforms ... hm ... maybe some day I will come back to them ...

Some generic "uniformed" Militia

  2. Lovely stuff Michael. I'm thinking about painting some Pulaski Legion, so we can use the proper cavalry in our battles.

    2. Perry don't sell single figures. I need officer+trumpether+4 lancers. Easier to buy them from FR.
