French and Indian War troops

Here's everything I've painted over the years since I've been playing.  I've played French and Indian war with a large number of rules, so the numbers of troops may not conform to your favorite.  Here are the rules I've played under.  Bob Moon's rules, The Sword and the Flame, Brother Against Brother, Flintloque, Long Rifle and Muskets & Mohawks by THW, Sharpe Practice, and Rebels And Patriots.

British Line: Front Rank campaign dress, 36 infantry and 3 officers.


Highlanders: Old Glory 18 infantry, officer and drummer.

British Rangers: Old Glory and Wargames Factory, 12 men.

British Lights: RSM, 18 figures including an officer and drummer

French Line: The London War Room, 29 figures, including 4 officers, 3 NCO's, a drummer and a standard bearer.

French Militia: Old Glory, 32 figures including 2 officers.

Franche de la Marine: Warlord Games and Old Glory, 18 figures including 2 leaders.

Couriers du Bois: Old Glory and Wargames Factory, 12 figures.

British Militia: Old Glory, Wargames Factory and Staden, 56 figures including 3 leaders.

Women and Children: Dixon, Black Orc, Amazon Miniatures, RAFM and Old Glory, 16 figures, plus a dog.

Native Americans, from the RKO tribes: Old Glory and RSM, 54 figures including leaders. (My friend has another 18 painted, and I have another 3 bags of 18 to paint)

That's my collection. The Native Americans are of no particular tribe, since most come from the Old Glory bags.  Don't be too impressed; if you can't tell from all the rules sets they've been played under, this is about 20 years work.  The photography isn't too impressive. I had my contact lenses in while taking them.

Muskets & Mohawks, Sharp Practice French and Indian War

I just realized that it has been a long time since I made a post here, so here are figures for my French & Indian War games.

The first unit is Front Rank's British in campaign dress, mainly because I hate painting full dress uniforms.  There are 24 rank and file and 3 officers.  This gives me 2 full units in Muskets & Mohawks and 3 groups in Sharp Practice.
Next are 16 British light infantry by Regimental Sergeant Major. They are painted as Gage's light infantry.  RSM's figures are all in the same pose with separate weapons and command included.
And here we have 20 Old Glory Provincial Militia, really from their AWI range, but close enough. There is also an officer.
Old Glory Roger's Rangers.  I only have 8 figures, but that's enough for most games.
Native Americans by Old Glory.  They come from 3 different packs. They'll do for a unit in either rule set.
Highlanders from Old Glory. There are 16 plus an officer and musician.  They are the forty-twa before they got their royal designation.  (I just liked the yellow better!)

French line.  They are really Spanish that I got from The London War Room.  Yes, I know they are not quite right, but they were already painted and only need a change in button color and a Languedoc flag to fit in.  There are 24 rank and file and a few officers and a musician.
Couriers de bois. Once again, only 6 figures.  But that is all that are allowed allowed in Sharp Practice, and enough for Muskets & Mohawks. Old Glory.
French provincial militia.  I have the entire bag of 30 painted.  They are allowed in groups of 6 in Sharp Practice, and as many as the die tells you in Muskets & Mohawks.
More Native Americans, this time from RSM.  There is more variety in this pack than in the British light infantry.
Civilians.  This is a real hodgepodge.  There are figures from Old Glory, RAFM, Dixon, Amazon Miniatures (long gone!), and Black Orc Games, also departed.
And more Native Indians, a mix of Old Glory and RSM.  I didn't realize that one of the Old Glory figures had a musket ball hole in his forehead until I began painting.
I also have 16 French marines painted plus officer.  They are a mix of Old Glory and Warlord Games.  I don't have any pics yet.  I found both brands to be underwelling.

So there we have what I have been doing for a while since Bayou Wars.  Chris and I got to play a game of Sharp Practice, and totally botched the rules but had a good time anyway, good enough to get me to finish my FIW figures!
