A Spring Surprise

It had been a hard winter for campaigning and after the failure of the British attempt to march through the snow to make a surprise attack on the outskirts of Belmont, both sides settled into Winter Quarters. Once the snow had melted and the ground dried up a bit, Brigadier Turner  determined to get his men into shape and resume his attack on the Acadian settlements.

"Enemy in sight Sir!"


"A LOT of enemy Sir.......behind an abatis!"


"Captain, ride back to the Provincial Brigade and give them orders to step out and deploy for battle as soon as possible."

Done! (At Last)

It's just a bit more than 2 years since the first company of Highlanders appeared in a F&IW game. Now, at last, I have the full battalion, regimental colour as well, ready to take the field.

40mm figures cast in Prince August moulds.

 Time to clear the table and come up with an Acadian scenario!

It's Just A Flag Away

The lads are now painted to old geezer level. 

All that I  have to do now, is to produce a regimental colour for the Ensign to wave.
