@ H.M Stanley

You can always check my blog section on the French & Indian War. Made a review of the "This Very Ground" rules from Iron Ivan and I'm using a mix of Perry Miniatures, Conquest Miniatures and Front Rank Figurines for my French detachment  :)

A little bird tells me that the GM Militia should be released before Xmas  :D

I'm very impressed with the GM Huron & Rangers so will be having the Major's Militia rather than t'others which, i understand, would be wrong in terms of 177Os kit in any event

Great stuff they are destined for my Smugglers party. I sadly sold all my FIW last month to raise readies but loved the period and figures around for it.

@H.M. Stanley,

You might also have use for this tutorial on how I painted the various tones of white on the regulars and the militia  :)

Undercoat brown>>paint light grey>>ink W&N Nut-Brown>>highlight with white

As you can see, i take my painting seriously esp as i'm colour-blind  ;)

Great watchtower and cabin!
Wish I could coax my buddy Calle to play F&IW with me more but he has all but given up on it  :'(

Splendid effort old boy- a rag tag bunch if ever there was one.

Like the watchtower but the cabin is especially nice.

Nice blog,

on the F&I rules i use a modified version of these:

http://www.wargames.watkins-family.co.uk/frenchindianwars/fiwrules.htm

from the free wargames website. We have used them a few times and they give a nice game with the "right feel" to them. Galloping Major (Lance) played a game with them a few months back, so can give some feedback as well.
