I'm looking for cabins, blockhouses, and such for this period. I would prefer availability in the US? I loved the stuff in the WI 302 on Decorating the Wilderness aticle. Great article but no references on manufactures. I know about the longhouses from Conquest Miniatures. "Muskets and Tomahawks" has brought our game club back to the period, but one of new members wrote a splendid set of rules that captures the flavor of the conflict and has proven to be great fun! |

Try 4 Ground. Laser cut, already painted to a high standard, relatively inexpensive, and quick service. |

Thanks, I just found them at Brigade Games. |

Sarissa Precision makes a number of North American Homesteads that are appropriate. They are in the UK but their shipping is pretty reasonable. I have highly recommend them. Unfortunately neither of the two US manufacturers make anything appropriate. |

I second Achesoncreations. I have their 28mm log house w/chimney for my FIW. They also have the best looking Blockhouse out there. They are in Rochester, NY. |

I would definitely go with 4 Ground and Acheson. Both are excellent and should meet your criteria. |

Old Glory has block houses, forts, cabins, etc. link Also, check out the Russian buildings, which will also work for the FIW period. |

Hudson and Allen has some FIW buildings, including a log cabin with removable roof and some interior detail. They are nice and not very expensive. I would second the Old Glory Blockhouse which is a nice piece with lots of room for miniatures inside (and IIRC it came with a couple of pieces of artillery). |

How long are Hudson and Allen longhouses? They will most likely be my choice, as well as the huts. I also favor the blockhouse and cabin in the Architects of War 's North American terrain section. Bought together, free shipping, no tax! Thanks for all the suggestions! |
