Major General Jacob Brown and ADC. Commanding the American division on the Niagara invasion 1814.
Headquarters troops. These are regiments not assigned to a brigade command during the game. Cavalry and Rifle regiment. Next year I plan on adding a sapper and miner unit.
1st Rifle regiment. Dressed in summer uniform of green hunting shirt trimed buff.
Rifle regiment in open or skirmishing order.
New York Militia Dragoons in fancy uniforms. Historically this regiment 's uniforms caused a minor panic among militia battalions during the Plattsburgh campaign who mistook them for british!
Volunteer cavalry in hunting shirts and civilian round hats.
Figures are mostly Knuckleduster, with the militia dragoons and the hunting shirts horse from from Old Glory.
Nice to see this minor theatre treated to an outing or three! Aren’t the Mounted Rifles by Foundry though?
ReplyDeleteYup!...
DeleteI thought I had seen them somewhere before...
All the best. Aly
David very glad you liked the War of 1812 review. More to come with the British/Canadian forces next up. As to who makes the castings for the mounted rifles you could be right. I picked these up at Cold Wars at the flea markets among sure who makes them.
ReplyDeleteBTW you have a most excellent War of 1812 collection yourself.
A nice series of posts Mark. Our group has just had our annual war gaming week away and this year, one of our games wasWar of1812. Funnily enough, I also have the New York dragons by Old Glory, and one of the guys commented that the red uniforms made them look like Brits!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the AAR get much.
DeleteGreat looking figures! There are some nice uniforms in the War of 1812 I'm learning. I really like the volunteer cav.
ReplyDeleteIt is an often overlooked period. But it has an incredible amount of interesting troop types and very colorful uniforms.
