17th century New England wargaming

For anyone in the New England area, I'll be running the "Original" Deerfield 1704 game this Saturday at Total Con.

Not to threadjack, but here's my AAR on last Saturday's "Raid on Deerfield, 1704" that I ran at DayCon.

Lots more photos and story on how I ran it on my blog:

Been thinking about some Salem-centered gaming - so I better keep an eye out for stuff like this...

Stop by Havoc convention in Shrewsbury, MA and check out the "Original" Deerfield 1704 raid game, complete with proper New England style houses.

Dave,  The table and figures look great. Were you comfortable using the King Philip's War figures for early 18th century?  Seems like they might be a bit out of date.

The clothing is closer than French and Indian war, as there were major changes in style between 1704 and 1756.  Beggars can't be choosers.... , IMO the KPW figures are the best alternative, until someone make 1690-1700 English civilians.  So, while I'm not saying it's ideal it works better than using later period models.
