Hi Max! Not to threadjack here, but Song of Drums and Tomahawks is a smaller, man-to-man scale game with each player controlling less than a dozen individual figs. Rules are only $15 or less for PDF download. We've been playing them for a decade and they make for a fun game. Lot of game reports on the First Command Wargames website, if you want to check into them beforehand.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled Oldskoolrebel thread on F&I War fun...

I've not tried Song of Drums and Tomahawks; it looks interesting, though. The issue is too many rulesets and not enough time.
It is a very good game. I think the new edition is even better; the addition of command points gives players more options, and the move to d10 improves the game as well. Plus of course you can use it for Napoleonics. I do miss the multiple actions for regulars on one card from v1, though. That was a nice feature.
Sharp Practice is also good, but it pays a lot slower than M&T.
Cheers for the information! I've not played too many games of the first edition, so I'll stick with it until it gets boring!
Cracking set up. Nice to see you getting a game after all that hard work.
Cheers Steve, it feels like its been a long time coming.
Looks fantastic! It's been said already but lovely table 
Wonderful looking table. I look forward to more battle reports.
Thank you both very much.
I was fortunate to play another game a few weeks ago. Due to player absence, this one is with three folks I play D&D with as an alternative to the D&D campaign.
We set up on a 6' by 4' board, the British defending the small township of New Newcastle and the French looking to sack the small settlement. Additionally, the Canadian Milice Captain was looking for his English Lover, while the British Ranger Captain is looking to 'rescue' her.
The 45th regiment of Foot advanced under the watchful eye of Major Eric Shawn, keen to complete the march to the nearby settlement.
As the British Rangers and native allies advance through the settlement.
In the distance, the French regulars, led by Major Le Douche, advance.
The rangers exchange fire with the French Line infantry...

The game ended with a narrow British Victory, with the township defended. Overall, it was a cracking game.
I've just received some river sections from a commission with Oshiro. They've been cut in acrylic to help minimise warping. I look forward to working on them and getting them on the table shortly.
