...Great looking little Frenchies there! Well done.<br /><br />If I had found the Blue Moon range, before the Galloping Major's range, I'm sure I'd be painting 15mm's as well. You should be able to get a right proper FIW engagement in 15mm. Could do things like Battle of Snow Shoes in 1:1 with TFL Sharp's Practice. <br /><br />Rusti (from syw6mm)The Haggishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00232215030589382341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-35432106572307286802011-05-25T01:57:01.376+01:002011-05-25T01:57:01.376+01:00fire!fire!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304596718908705463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-35673351912008705702011-05-25T01:51:51.256+01:002011-05-25T01:51:51.256+01:00This is a very fascinating era for both warfare in...This is a very fascinating era for both warfare in general and the beginnings of American military heritage. Like I told you before, my mother is Mohawk from the North country area of New York. I have been to the museum that now stands where Fort Oswego once was. But the way you describe the engagements was a lot easier to understand and more enjoyable to read!<br /><br />It's great that you add your passion for history into this craft of yours. It's one of the reasons I love coming to this blog!Aaron M.

There are still some relatively untouched, densely forested areas out there where it's quite easy to feel like you've traveled back to that era.Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-70038254902087067952011-05-24T22:45:57.569+01:002011-05-24T22:45:57.569+01:00I love the round bases, they're from Peter Pig...I love the round bases, they're from Peter Pig and are metal. I will be using movements trays, that will have magnetic sheets stuck on to them. Just for two reason, 1. So if the player doesn't want to keep moving loads of individualy figures, he can use a base 2.
