Wowsers. Nice PJ on those Frenchies. Good to see some life in the buildings too

Rest assured those buildings of yours will be put to very good use ID

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

Yes the buildings are lovely [sniff!]

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

Like the watchtower but the cabin is especially nice.

The cabin is promised to a buddy of mine provided i think his painting is worthy

I hope you lot realise that all this talk of the FIW has made me dig my books out and browse the figure ranges.
Its a conspiracy I tells ya.

I'm getting an itchy wallet finger.

Bought it on DVD when it was released, also recommend (very highly) "CANADA: A people's history" Set 1 - 3 disc set, by CBC/Radio-Canada. Disc 2 is 1670-1775 mostly F&IW. A brilliant documentary series.

I'll get back about books later

White savage is an excellent read, I'd recommend that to anyone with an interest in the period (and often do).

A couple to consider:
White Devil by Stephen Brumwell
Any and all of the series "The History of Rogers' Rangers" by Burt Garfield Loescher - loads if fascinating detail.

Im at work so currently away from my books but will try and remember what I can.

First hand Anglo American accounts-

Loudons Indian narrative.- A must have. Published in 2 parts in 1808 and 1811 this is a collection of newspaper reports and survivor/witness statements collected by the author. mostly FIW period. Re-published about 10 years ago . You may find it published free online as it is out of copyright.

The annotated and illustrated journals of Major Robert Rogers-(Todish/Zaboly) Lots of Rogers Journals out there but imho this is the best. Full of great illustrations, snippets of other contempory sources and probably the best discussion on rangers uniforms out there.

Through so many dangers. The memoirs and recollections of Robert Kirk. Late of the Royal Highland Regiment.-Kirk was wounded, captured then adopted by Indians and his account of the natives is far more balanced than many. And illustrated by Robert Griffing paintings!!!

I echo GM about White Devil, best read on the St Francis raid.
Maybe should start a sticky on of a FIW reading list. Ill look at my books tomorrow and find some more suggestions.

Thanks fellas - much appreciated.

The book on Maj. Rogers may make it onto my Xmas list.

The Huron are painted and inked and the Rangers are undercoated ready.

I'll highlight the Huron tomorrow and then post some pictures.

They're nice figures to paint Major. Mine are never works of art (i aim for good gaming standard) but i'm happy with how they've turned out

Galloping Major · « **Reply #58 on:** November 23, 2011, 07:09:57 AM »

I'd very much agree with Inkydave re the Zaboly/Todish Rogers book, certainly a good buy

(there are one or two other versions of Rogers' diaries around that I wouldn't recommend

).

"Through so Many Dangers" is one I've flicked through intending to buy, but not as yet added it to my collection - though still intend to, looks very good.

Nice idea about the sticky Inkydave.

And you get there quickly

I keep thinking I'll have to have an experiment with Army Painter or similar to get units painted quickly - hard to find painting time as it is with so much sculpting to be done

Really looking forward to continue following progress
