Blimey chaps, I never expected to see so many armed settlers turned out so quickly (is that what the raiders said?

), you must have really hit the ground running when it came to painting that lot.

Especially good to see the new Soldiers Free figure all painted as well - I had hoped to get time to paint one myself by now.....

I see him as being able to fulfil many roles, but especially as you're using him here, as a hard-bitten experienced type to provide some leadership in battle for the local citizenry/ad hoc militia.

He'll also be going out with books ordered through us

Ha ha - hoisted by my own petard! Well done on getting those Settlers painted up do quickly. At least i know where my painting fairies got to.

Yes do keep up H.M. there's a good fellow.

Actually they were pretty quick to paint, keeping to a limited pallette.

There was also the added incentive of completeing the figures before shifting back to a longstanding project that was badly in need of some attention.

Just got a new camera yesterday so I took a few WIP shots, I usually don't take pics until the end, but though I would post these as I have them.

GREAT FIGURES!

These guys just need some basing

These lads need quite a bit more

Should we start a new thread to show these off? This one is getting long and doesn't really talk about rules at this point. I'd hate for the Major's figs to be buried in a thread and never seen.

If anyone starts a new one, I'll add these pics.

Great to see so many of these little chaps under the brush already

Very nice looking game.
Like the terrain alot.
The Settlers look good.
I have to say that reading the threads got me back to playing F&WI after many years.
Also started painting a bunch of Conquest figures I have purchased in the last few years and have sit in the lead pile.

Like all good wargaming butterflys i'm having a break from painting FIW figures for the moment. I'm still gaming the period though as its rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

Of course, once Lance's Provincials are released i'll need a couple of units of Provincials which means i need more of his Huron ...

In the meantime i've invested in more Regulars for both sides (i know ... i know) but they're on the back burner

Some more pictures of the game.

In sequence -
1. Hurons attacking the left side of the compound, repulsed in hand to hand
2. Hurons fail to charge and are beaten off by musket fire on the right
3. General view of the failed assault
4. Help is to hand - the Rangers arrive - yes quite right as far from the compound as possible. This was as predicted but genuinely achieved by a totally random roll of the dice. they could in fact have appeared in the compond.
5. Hot footing it along the road.
6. While the Hurons keep them occupied the Canadians launch their attack on the militias flank.

A shameless plug for our project.

A seriously large game is on the distant horizen. I best get on with the Regulars while waiting for the Provincials

Very nive stuff. For more info on specific units during the 7year war in Europa and the American counterpart F&IW this page is really good http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=French_Army#French_Line_Infantry_Regiments

Ahh, this was the link that i was looking for ... Provincials troop colours are under British. Naturally

I should lighten my paint job on the Huron skin too

British Grenadiers now on the painting table

A very useful resource, it would be lovely to see it updated re Provincials etc but a great starting point.

Lance, I know Richard, who runs the Kronos site, personally. He's given me two tours of his beautiful city, Quebec City, and is very keen on the period. I know he puts in crazy hours on the site, but most of the content is generated by volunteers. Some of the more keen and knowledgable folks on here should pick a unit or two and get the resource up to date!

Lance, if you ever make it to New England, I'll take you to QC for a tour!
