I am going to be running a Muskets & Tomahawks II Demo game in February at CoastalCon in South Carolina. In preperation I decided to take inventory of my French and Indian War collection. I have a lot done (about 145 minis) but an equal amount still to work on (about 150 minis). Most of the "on order" models are from the This Bloody Ground Kickstarter. The rest of the collection is a mix of Galloping Major, Warlord Games, Brigade Games, Kind Mountain Miniatures, and Foundry Miniatures. I do plan on re-basing on the ones on round bases to square since M&T is my main rules for this conflict.

Here are pictures of the completed collection:

Virginia Provencals, have had flags added since photoed.
British Regulars, have been finished since photoed.
French Regulars, have been finished since photoed.
French Campaign de la marines
French Coureurs des bois
Indians, I use then as allies for either side depending on the needs of the game.
Currently on the paint table is my first batch of Rangers and another unit of Indians.
Once they are done I'll move to another big batch of French Marines
I am designing my British army to have 2x12 units or Regulars and 4x12 units of Provincials that are supported by smaller units of Rangers, Indians, and Militia.
The French army will likewise have 2x12 units of Regulars but with 5x9 units Marines that are supported by smaller units of de bois, Militia, and Indians.
This should give the British and advantage on open field fights but the French and advantage in woodland fights which is, more or less, historically accurate.
