I bought two 28mm plastic starter Armies for Black Powder American Revolution. I'm going to use British Grenadier and Fife and Drum for rules with B. L. Western. I'm doing the order of battle for Freeman's Farm. What figures I can't get from Warlord Games I assume I can get from Perry Miniatures. Would Eureka Minis and Foundry also work for 28mm American Revolution? Who else makes figures for this period? I'm doubling down on my painting. Once I get my current commissions done, I'm not going to take any more. I'm going to have two different projects going on at once. I'll be painting and assembling figures like a demon for the next 18-24 months. Anyway, where can any I find a decent painting guide for British/Tory uniforms. I have the Mollo for this period. I also have Osprey's Washington's Army (Volumes 1-2). Any good Ospreys for the period? Thanks,
Regards,

Eureka are perfect if you're going for the "Ragged Valley Firge" look.
Likewise Kong's Mountain, with its choice of heads.
Foundry AWI are by the same sculptor as Perry. |

Just typing out the Valley accent. |

Both the fascination and the challenge is the variety of uniforms. Lots of great uniform info available free on the net. When about to paint an AWI unit, I google it's title and often find considerable assistance. Do look at Giles' great Tarleton's Quarter site. |

Now I want to do a King Kong/kaiju-Revolutionary War game. |

Welcome to the period! Good luck and post your progress. |

Somewhere John the OFM has a great intro to the period. OK I googled it. Here's the link

Having bought the Command and Colours version of the Revolutionary War I too have been seduced by the period.
I have gone for 15mm figures and British Grenadier Rules.
I am now starting the massed hordes of Continental Cavalry and am having difficulty finding any versions of any standard/flags that they may or may not have carried.
Help please. |

Google "Continental Light Dragoon flags".
I easily found 2nd, 3rd, Philadelphia Light horse, Lee's Legion, Pulaski's Legion… British and Loyalist flags are just as easy. |

Very many thanks. I thought I had done that but will return to the charge. |

The Lee's Legion flag may or may not have originally been a First Light Dragoon flag. I have not read anything indicating the 4th had a flag. Armand's Legion might have carried the flag of Pulaski's Legion after the two commands merged in 1780. |

Likewise Kong's Mountain, with its choice of heads. Weren't the Kong's Mountain heads mostly shrunken and on poles? |
| Winston Smith | 27 Mar 2018 4:22 p.m. PST |
Ok. Expect no mercy on YOUR typos. |

Always double-chick them, mate. Always dibble-check…… |

Also check out old glory 2nd editions. They are cheap and look a lot like Perry minis |
paints brigs for the British fleet.
