MTB05 - British Regular Army (French & Indian War)

 Last May at Cangames in Ottawa I picked up a 300 point British Army designed to be used in Muskets & Tomahawks II. The figures are by North Star Military Figures. I was introduced to the game last year at the Montreal Historical Wargaming Club and liked the scale. The price was right and the figures were purchased from a dealer at the con.  I was fortunate enough to engage the services of a skilled, local painter and last Sunday he delivered the first 12 figures to me.

Purchases from Centuries Historical Miniatures & Tabletop Gaming.

Here are the figures with the rest of the rest of the loot I picked up in May. I came home with far less than I brought for sale and was happy with the trade off.

For the British regular units I asked that they be painted as the 15th Regiment of Foot. 15th Foot – Buff facings, white lace. (Louisburg, Plains of Abraham, Montreal).  The main reason was they were garrisoned in Halifax at the start (1758) of the French and Indians wars. Graham did not disappoint and the figures look fantastic. Photos below of 8 true men of the 15th Foot and 4 reliable Mohawks.






The total contents of the box are listed one the North Star website as

Hilltop Hovel - 15mm

 In truth, this is more than a hovel. I picked up this resin kit on sale years ago, and finally painted it about 2017. I am in a state of having to downside and I am making my way through my various storage boxes. This is an item I will keep, but I don't think I ever posted it to my blog. The AHPC is keeping me busy painting on new projects, but I may be resorting to unpublished items to provide my own Blog with a little more content. 

The troops used to provide scale are  Dark Age 15mm Essex Welsh that I purchased at Cangames in the early years of this century. 





The Welsh Dark Age Army (DBA III/19) was a really decent purchase. I don't think I paid more than $30 CDN at the Cangames Marketplace. It was a steal. That weekend I participated in the Cangames DBA tournament with it and won 2nd place. As you can see it came with lots of options.
