Looking for some 28mm figs to use in with pirates running smooth and rifled the black corsair supplement. The rules call for colonials with a mix of muskets and pike/halberdiers. Spanish, British, Portuguese, French are all options |

Check out Trent Miniatures, which are carried by Recreational Conflict. Foundry also has some figs that may be of use. |

I went with pretty much the group of figures listed by Schogun. Most of my pirate and government forces are Old Glory and Foundry with some Dixon, Eureka, and Reaper added. Government longboat crews and seated "marines" are from London War Room. For my civilians (and I love civilians) I used Foundry, Redoubt (Bits and Bods/I think that's the name of the section but it's something like that), Perry, Outpost Highwaymen, Reaper, Eureka, Blue Moon, West Wind, Front Rank and Trent. You can see much of my Pirate collection in diorama for at warin15mm.com/Pirates.html |

Some of the new French and Indian Wars figs might work too, for the French Buccaneers in Haiti, since they are dressed in animal skin clothing, which I imagine a lot of hunters might have used back in the day. Not sure if there was much change in animal skin clothing from the early to the mid-late 1700's, but I doubt it. I think they might fit the look reasonably well. Some of them turned from hunting to piracy/privateering, after the Spanish tried to remove them from the island. Sorry, can't recall who released them, but imagine someone else will have that info. |
