Darn, another period I'd like to do.  Sadly, Foundry's American range is much depleted...............

Nice game......  and nice to see that you won.  :D

Don't Knuckleduster have quite an extensive 1812 range nowadays? http://www.knuckleduster.com/

Fine looking game.
A period I have always been interested in.
But have to many irons in the fire already.
I do enjoy looking at what others have done.

I like the period too.  Nice report!  :-*

I could be wrong but I think the reason you won, David, was because the Brit artillery were aiming in the wrong direction.  :o

Can't help you with the clearance  ;) but the figures are available through Caliver in the UK which should sort out the customs

Don't overlook the Old Glory War of 1812 range either. There are some lovely figures. The militia packs are brilliant, as are the mounted and dismounted Kentucky riflemen.
