After a Short Delay .........

Real life in the form of my wife's broken leg has curtailed any blogging of late , but things have been going on in the background . At the moment I'm fighting a solo FIW game using the excellent 'Muskets and Tomahawks' rules .

This has been encouraged by me finishing painting the latest batch of militia figures from 'Galloping Major' , I really like these figures - full of character and easy to paint.

Some more of the militia , they fit well size wise with my other figures which are mainly Redoubt.

French militia lurking behind a log cabin , again 'Galloping Major ' figures and a '4Ground 'building .

Something entirely different - a radio station for my 'Bolt Action' WW2 , its by 'Sarrissa 'and doesn't come pre-painted like the '4Ground' buildings - but easier to put together !.

And I'm having a clear out ! - it's amazing the amount of rules you amass over 40 odd years (well if your me anyway !) . I'm being ruthless anything I haven't used for years or don't think I'll use again is going - first I'm letting my wargaming colleagues pick through them, then any hard back books will go to a charity shop and what's left to recycling !. 

Just Off The Painting Tray

These are just freshly painted , they are French militia for the French Indian Wars in N. America . They are Galloping Major models and although a bit chunky they match well with the Redoubt figures I already have . I've been using the 'Musket & Tomahawk' rules for this period and they give a excellent solo game - being card driven and a random scenario selection system . 

Virginia Provincial Regiment.

Months ago Galloping Major Miniatures were doing a deal on their new FIW range- so I went ahead and bought some of their very nice figures - 'but its easier to buy figures than it is to paint them !' and it has taken till now to get them done. 

I've painted them as the Virginia Regiment - which was commanded by George Washington during the French Indian War . I will be using these with the 'Tomahawks and Muskets' rules .

The command figures , Galloping Major do a very nice range of figures - rather 'chunky' maybe but they match well with most of the other ranges out there
