Commanded by Lt. Col. Hercules Scott, the 1st Brigade is made up of the 1st, 41st and 49th Regiments of Foot. At times I add part of the flank companies I pictured with the 3rd brigade to round out the command. The 8th and 49th Regiments are wearing the earlier Stovepipe shako. I did these to represent their long service in Canada before the war. While the 41st was also a long service regiment in Canada they were rebuilt after Battle of the Thames and a second battalion joined them. I field them in the belgic shako.
Another nice thing about this theater is the wide variety of uniforms you can possibly pick from. Americans varied year to year. British head gear also varied from stovepipe to belgic to round hats. All makes for a colorful and interesting army in your table.
Again all miniatures are from the wonderful line of War of 1812 figures by Knuckleduster miniatures. Flags are from Flags of War, who do a wonderful range of flags for this theater.
Another nice batch of figures Mark. I totally agree about the variety of uniforms, on both sides. Most of my US regulars are in slightly different uniforms, and for the Brits, there are marines, West India regiment, riflemen the Canadian voltguers and Glengarry light infantry, to name but a few! I have always fancied getting some of the Knuckleduster Brits in winter uniforms but have not done so, so far!
ReplyDeleteEventually I too want to get some of the winter dressed figures. Too many interesting troop types and uniforms to count make this a colorful and fun period to game.
