I'm fairly confident that most of my motley little horde of Pirates and 1837 Upper Canadian Rebels DON'T look very much like French Revolution Chouan rebels from Brittany but they are angry civilians with pikes, muskets and cold steel so they'll do for now.

So far so good. Now I have to finish designing this brand new scenario.........
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
They look quite revolutionary to me! Helps, I suppose, that I don't know what a Chouan rebel should look like...
