Galloping Major's FIW updates
« on: September 25, 2019, 06:29:35 PM »
Hi All,
I've been more than a little remiss lately when it comes to keeping everyone posted about progress. I had a rather unfortunate and at the time potentially very serious injury early in the summer,which set me back quite a lot, however I'm now all but fully recovered and trying to catch up on all fronts. The updates should be far more frequent from now on  ::)

For starters here are five of the six figures from each of the two upcoming packs of La Marine in winter coats; FIW FCF11: Compagnies Franches de la Marine in capotes and bonnets, and FIW FCF12: Compagnies Franches de la Marine in capotes and tuques. One figure from each of these two packs is currently being completed, both of these have been designed with a separate hand and musket.



Cheers,
Lance

Looking good, Lance (am putting them on my shopping list!) and glad you’re on the road to recovery! (Hope your feet have recovered from last weekend as well!)

Keep smiling mate ;)

Thanks Ian, feet OK, knee still acheing  lol
That's the kind of thing that happens to an old soldier after taking a beating at Chickamauga and taking part in a retreat through the Lincolnshire Wolds  ::)

Cheers,
Lance

A picture of some of the upcoming releases from our most recent Kickstarter. Five British-Allied Stockbridge Mohicans with three Rangers/Backwoods militia for release after the next tranche of Compagnies Fanches de la Marine become available.

Excellent stuff Lance, glad to hear you are fit and well. Looking forward to the next releases, the Stockbridge boys in particular. :)

Didn't know you had had a problem Lance. Glad to hear you are well on the mend.
(Pikeman Pete).
I was taking to one of the pupils, at the school I work at, about you & your nice figures,
(we have a wargames club, we have started playing Rebels & Patriots, & he has chosen
Americans & I suggested some of your very nice Woods Indians for a skirmish unit)

Thanks Pete, an unfortunate incident with poorly maintained kit, not belonging to me, I didn't say much as I thought it best that way.

For AWI we also sell the King's Mountain range, and a good many use our Anglo-American Militia and Settlers Defending for the period  ;)

Our 18th Century Sailors are ideal for Royal Navy and American.  :D

Cheers,
Lance

Hello Lance, your model lines for the FIW conflict are wonderful.  Have many of them, and enjoy war-gaming with them quite a bit.  Looking forward to your new releases, and glad you have made a recovery.
