Well after my previous attempts at wargaming the American Revolution all stalled, I sold of 10mm, 15mm and 28mm figures I had, I have been bitten by the bug again!! The previous attempts all stalled as I was all over the place with them just buying for the sake of buying. I am now focussed and will e starting afresh and revigorated. This time I am going to stay on track and build up my units properly, thats the plan anyway!! I am going 28mm but this time I am going to use the excellent "Fife and Drum" figures, they really are so nice that it was a no brainer for me. Well anyway here we go again!!! |

A wonderful choice for period, scale and manufacturer. Eric |

Here are my suggestions for a "logical" approach.
The thread seems to have some popularity, I modestly suggest.

But you've already failed at 28mm size/scale. You need to try a different one. 6mm, 1/72, 40mm (Trident or Front Rank) or 54mm (ATKM or plastics). |

WS, that was a great post and has stood the test of time. I am following many of your suggestions. I selected 28mm Foundry and Battle Honours, with a sprinkling of others for seasoning. Thanks for posting the link again. |

jambo1 -- you have chosen wisely -- Fife & Drum are really nice figures. |

Winston's scheme is a good one. I am kinda sorta doing it in 15mm |

Winstons plan is a great one to follow and one I will indeed be following. I thought about a new scale but it was more the look of the F&D figures that made me want to do it again in 28mm, they really look very nice. |

Just got my first couple of test packs, militia, and they are lovely, very happy!! I have some Hessians ordered and looking forward to getting them. Glad I have gone for F&D. |

More militia ordered and first batch of continental infantry ordered, all systems are go!! |
