French Indian War units all painted

This weekend I was able to paint and finish off the last couple of Spencer Smith units for my French Indian war armies. Huzzah! And now I can have a break from trying to complete two (or more) units each week. Before I get going on my next painting project, I will be making up some canoes, boats and a fort for the period.

A Highland unit made by re-using some grenadier models, who in their ownership history had had their hats removed and replaced with tricornes. I then replaced these with a bonnet and added a kilt all with greenstuff. 

Some more grenadiers made up as rangers

I chose not to use all the artillery miniatures available for the moment. Two artillery units seemed quite sufficient for the armies which will normally field anywhere between 8 to 15 units per side.

All 33 units in their storage containers

I have been able to get in a couple of smallish games of 8 units aside during the week. This was to test out some or the rule changes mentioned in the last post.

Early stages of a game (the brown areas represent difficult terrain with no cover advantage. Just difficult to manoeuvre  across.

Not all my rule changes worked, particularly the cover rule requiring attackers to be adjacent. Never mind, amendments were made which seem to be working, and I am now writing the rules up to add to the rules available at the top.
