Epic Revolution Part 26: British Army Update

Lord Cornwallis checks the positioning of the Royal Artillery.

As with my American (Rebel) Forces I have done pretty well with my start on the forces of the King:

The 33rd Regiment of Foot.

Musketeer Regiment Von Bose.

Light Companies of the 71st (Fraser's Highlanders) Regiment of Foot.

German Jägers.

Royal Artillery in leather helmets.

Lord Cornwallis Army Command stand.

LTC Webster (local rank Brigadier General).

Hessian Commander.

British Brigade commander.

The rest of the Brigade commanders are coming.

I think I will have enough time to knock out one more British unit before the end of the year. I know have to decide if I will do the Royal Welch Fuziliers or Fraser's Highlanders.

Epic Revolution Part 25: Continental Army Update

Before I take stock of what I want to do by the end of the year, it's time to see where I am at with my generic Southern Campaign American Army.

Army Command stand painted as MG Nathaniel Greene.

1st Maryland Regiment or any Continental Line from Maryland, Delaware or Virginia.

A South Carolina regiment that can be of the Continental Line, States Troops or Militia.

The 2nd Sparta Regiment or any American unit.

A generic Infantry unit with brown coats and red facings.

Not bad so far:

4 Infantry units.

1 Rifle unit.

1 Artillery gun.

1 Army Commanders.

2 Brigade Commanders.

Epic Revolution Part 24: More Continental Infantry with a Twist

Continental Infantry in brown coats and red facings. The figures are not as shiny as they look in the image!

Okay.

The next time I take an extended break I promise to repost old entries, put out a message . . . please trust me, I'm not dead! With an early retirement and a brood of grandchildren we have been visiting and spoiling. Amaze, amaze, amaze. Okay, back to toy soldiers.

I decided to try something different and added a mounted officer to this unit. Having a space for it was easy since the infantry command sprue has a space to add another standard bearer if you want it to be a British unit. For the second rank I carefully cut out the figure - don't worry if you cut or scrap the chaps next to him, the horse will had the cuts in the second rank.

When adding the mounted office, you will need to remove the base from the horse. I also discovered that the horse is too wide to fit in the space. No worries! Carefully cut down the flanks until you get a fit; the cuts you make will be hidden once you glue the horse into place.

Close up of one of the stands with an NCO on the right. That's about as much detail that I'm doing with this scale and they look great at gaming distance.

The colors carried are a representation (educated guess) of the Fort Stanwix flag. On August 3, 1777 officers of the garrison of Fort Stanwix (successfully defended during the Saratoga Campaign) in what is now Oneida County, NY, made a “Continental Flag.” It may be the first flag based on the Continental Congressional Flag Resolution of June 14th, 1777. The Fort Stanwix flag commonly associated with the August 1777 siege is described as a 13-stripe design in red and white, possibly with a blue field and stars, though its exact appearance remains debated among historians. Other forts and some units carried similar flags throughout the war.

Prelude Part 2: Evil Mechanoids on the Northwest Frontier (A Xenos Rampant Adventure)

A steam powered British Bulldog used on the Northwest Frontier.

So who is going to protect Her Majesty's dominions in the British Raj? All the infantry will be Light Infantry which seemed right to me since the Mechanoids were metal! First up is the Gordon Highlanders.

. . . and of course the brave men of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Ghurka Rifles.

The Indian Artillery is of course present.

Last, but not least, is the heavy punch of the detachment:

So how will our brave lads fare against the Evil Mechanoids?
