I needed to add 2 more of Gorham's rangers to fit the plan, so now that's done. In the early days the friendly 1st Nations warriors were a large part or the Rangers so they make up 1/2 of my rangers.

| While I was at it, I rechecked my thin sources (no pieces of clothing remain and no contemporary paintings have been found so far), and lightened up the facings, tams, and small clothes. |
While I had the camera in hand, I took a quick shot of some of the existing and in progress casualty markers.
 |
| The two First Nations warriors were done on purpose more than a decade ago, but the rest are actual casualties injured on the tabletop or in transit and are going to be touched up and used as removed stand markers on table. |
On the table now, is a refurbishing of some of my Compagnies Franches skirmishers.
 |
| The unpainted ones are fresh castings, the two painted Irregular Minis loading their muskets, have had their odd mini-bicorne heads removed and Prince August replacements attached. |
More Highlanders are next!
I see the figures for the CFdlM and immediately I hear the strains of "Apres ma Blonde" in the background... C'est bon! May the spirit of M. Chartrand go with them!

Not to mention "C'est l'aviron". ( https://youtu.be/nxYMNKQ_vNI?si=uqm0Kot0Rn8g_mxL )
DeleteSung both on route marches a few years (decades) ago.
Nice to see Gorham’s on the tabletop, an underrepresented unit in games in my opinion.

It maybe, but they didn't fight in the US or anywhere but in the Maritimes except for a small contingent at Quebec
