I shouldn't be surprised, but constantly I am.
Now I will have to buy the Musket and Tomahawk wargames rules. If I can find a copy. Or wait for the 2nd edition.
Why?
Because my son bought me a box each of the French and British for the French and Indian wars..
And the lead pile, and plastic, was diminishing so well!
But that didn't include things yet to be discovered.
Like the Chariot Miniatures ALM6 and ALM8.
The reason I have these was, long ago I tried my hand at 15mm wargaming. A Macedonian army and some English medieval armies, De Montfort and Warrene as it happens.The principal figures of which De Montfort, Warrene and sons were professionally painted. All that difficult heraldry is still beyond me.
So I sold these off years ago to the wargames shop that used to be in Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. I'm sure they couldn't believe their luck.
So these must have been the left overs, unpainted and forgotten. Until today. Plus, some 'spare' pikemen, painted but not based.
I will probably put these on eBay as I can't see myself painting or using these. That said, I recently tried to sell some 25mm Greeks ( Museum Miniatures, I think) with the separate heads etc but to no avail.
So, I'm not over-keen on painting these F&I Wars figures. But I will put my best brush forward when I catch up to them. I have a maximum of 3 years to do them but each painting day brings the numbers to paint down.
Except I'll need some woodland Indians. Some militia for both sides. Some civilians, for both sides.
I think I'll have a lie down!
