[Eric the Shed]

Finally got started on my French Indian War Project....

200 plus figures have arrived from Redoubt, Perry and Gallopping Major. The painting has started with a few British Line Infantry....

A few photos to wet the appetite and more on the blog..http://shedwars.blogspot.co.uk/

Would welsome suggestions on rulesets - have purchased Muskets & Tomahawks

Thank you Eric

Nice figures Eric, quite a collection you're building.
Have a look at Sharp Practice, it has an F&I supplement I think. A great set of rules( once you get your head around the mechanics. It designed for large scale skirmishes with the emphasis on scenario driven games with heroes etc.

This Very Ground is a great set of rules. James has my copy, mention it to him

Fine looking figures you have there.
A great period to game.

[abu iskander]

Your off to a great start.  Look forward to seeing your collection develop.

A good start

You can't go far wrong with TVG or M&T

A great period to game

Well I was finally persuaded to run a raid scenario this weekend...great fun was had by all. The M&T rule set really captures the flavour of the Mohicans...also big thanks to Perry, Redoubt & Galloping Major for some great figures.

I just need to finish the pile of lead I seem to have gathered, finish the terrain...and think about the next project

A few more photos and batrep report on the blog

Very nice looking game

It must be said that Eric puts on a good spread. He has a huge table that he manages to cover with terrain and figures for many, many different settings and it's all his own work (and maybe some help from his offspring).
Proper LAF stuff

Thanks Paul

You will be pleased to know that the log cabins are all finished, I built a roof for the blockhouse and started the French Line. Photos soon.

See you Monday

I needed to source some log cabins pretty damn quick. For those of you in the know the new Musket & Tomahawk rules & scenarios call for buildings (ie settlers dwellings) to be the focus of activity.

Fortunately the wargaming community came up trumps and some searches later I found these Pegasus hobbies buildings.  A few days later the models arrived and were subsequently built – minus the roofs – I hated the current version and wanted something more organic – hence the towelling thatch.









Loads of pictures on the blog walking you through the transition and if you are looking for 28mm cabins these really rock ! ...oh and they are a great price.
