My interest in the French and Indian War is twofold in that I both have an interest in the skirmish fighting(little wars)with Indians, Coureurs de Bois etc. and the more formal fighting between the Regulars of the British and French. I'll start with the French and then move on to the British over time.
I would probably have started with the skirmish aspect first, but my friend Mike is an absolute fan of the Seven Years War and wants to start gaming Maurice. While I don't much care for the Seven Years War I want to support him so I started the formal F&IW battle material first, because the regiments I will be doing while based in North America/Canada for F & IW look exactly the same as the ones fighting in Europe. In fact the battalions serving in North America had their parent regiment/HQ stationed in Europe.
Figures are from Front Rank and the lovely banner is from GMB. Typical of French units of the time I went with a light grey and white combination and then added a red which are the regimental colours.
Thanks for viewing!
