Rules for French and Indian Wars?

[H.M.Stanley]

We're having a big bash of FIW soon.

Almost certainly we'll be using M&T. I find them quick to learn, fun and atmospheric. If someone would care to pass me the salt i'll get my hat!

Very nice looking table you played on 

As for painting beading (I always start with a black undercoated figure) instead of using 4 or more shades as I would do on skin or clothing I cut it down to 3 or even 2 layers if the detail is really small and make sure the highlight is more of a contrast than the previous layer.

I also have a box about 3 inches high on my painting table that I use to rest both arms against to steady them.
