And finally the Huron...

I am actually missing one Huron from the Soldier Free selection and that burns a little, but I'll have to see what I can do about that.

Thanks for the comments guys.

@Malamute - I'm a pretty solid fan of GM

@Col Tubby - Thanks these are my first 28's, so my style has developed a little throughout the photos.  Though my photos have been hit and miss, there's quite a few more and more detailed ones on my blog www.syw6mm.com (http://www.syw6mm.com).

@Aaron - Yeah, pretty much non-stop since I got them in in one lot for Christmas.  I've been sprinkling in a few things here and there recently, but as you might be able to tell, I'm a bit of a completion-ist.  While I have enjoyed them IMMENSELY, I'm very geeked up about some VSF (Lead Adventure Miniatures) while I wait for the next few releases.  It's good to have some variety, but I can't wait for the Provincials and Melee weapon Indians to come out.

Well, with Dave Bickley writing his FIW rules over the next few months, I may have to invest for 2012.

I always want to know more about wargames rules for FIW - any more info?  ;)

A David Bickley rules set - could be the kick I need to restart my FIW project.

Great work with the figures - I keep looking at the Galloping Major range with thoughts of getting some if I ever do something more with FIW.

Guys, I'm not sure what scale Bickley writes his rules for, but the perfect rules already exist in La Longue Carabine by TwoFatLardies.  Great for the scale of most engagements in the war.

Thanks for the compliments!

@TheGallopingMajor - I'll be sure to remind you. 8)

Nice work there.

I like This Very Ground as rules. And for inspiration i'm reading White Savage.

I'm putting some painting time next week so i'll see what i can add to the party
