Rebellions of 1837, the first shots in Queen Victoria's reign

These actions I will be using my Napoleonic British against a collection of French Canadian militia and illregular types.
The new American militia in winter kit can also fall in.
Once warmer weather comes back games will recommence in the garage.
This project is still being worked on as of 7/28/2018.


78th Highlanders in Indian Munity

yours truly in the uniform of 1869
The Saviours of India I'm hoping to do some actions against the muntinous sepoys. Most of the figures will be Napoleonic, as I don't have a collection of the period and don't feel the need to buy a new bunch of figures.
Plus at 1/72 scale it's hard to make out the actual uniform differences.
