Striking green! A beautiful unit!

No marines unfortunately that's in the near future I will tackle the first New Hampshire. They are all Green with light infantry hats according to to some references.

"What is your favourite theatre and why ?"  Just saw your question.

I don't know that I have a favorite theatre but after contemplating I'd guess the Brandywine / Germantown and associated also rans and what ifs would stand out. 

However, I've built my collection to cover all theaters from Canada to Saratoga, from Lexington to Long Island, from Brandywine to Yorktown, from Camden to Eutaw Springs, pretty much the whole war (within North America anyway - including the Floridas). 

The AWI itself is my favorite period and if push came to shove and I could only keep one period it would be this one. 

I do worry less about having the appropriate clothed unit as opposed to just having the appropriate unit (or, very rarely in my collection) a close enough stand in unit.  I'm pretty sure I can do either Long Island or Brandywine unit for unit.  Certainly close enough. 

It is an addictive period, and addictive hobby, filled with happy insanity. 

I've always found AWI has a ready audience of people willing to play.  And most of the players know almost all of the battles quite well.  Thus I intend to run fictional campaigns to avoid everyone having excessive hindsight.  May on occasion do a historical battle.
Totally agree . The Americans tended to avoid battle till they have an advantage. The major battles everybody knows and they're not that many of them, tend to be overwhelmingly in the favour of the Americans at princetown and Trenton. 2 one-sided really to bother with. Many are glorious skirmishes.
I think the fictitious campaigns is the way to go forward as you say.
I'm I'm working on Canada in 1776with the Americans reinforced with new northern state units and the British with the new troops arriving from Britain.

The painter picked all the little details, very steady hand and nice shading!
Spectacular flags! One more great addition to your collection! Cheers!
