Nice. Now I am too. Interestingly, a 2nd edition of Muskets and Tomahawks is due around that time too. Coincidence? |

That's great! Pre-FIW North American colonial warfare gets NO love. Hopefully it's not the usual two paragraphs, then the rest is mid-18th century on. |

I agree with the above comment.As much as I love the FIW period I want to know more about the earlier periods.

from Osprey blog
The final illustration depicts a clash between Abenaki warriors and Dragoons in 1707. As the Dragoon riders came up, other hidden warriors opened fire on them from the edge of the trees in what was obviously a deliberately planned ambush. During the five‑hour running fight that followed, the Albany militiamen never succeeded in catching up with the elusive warriors, who eventually vanished – taking some scalps with them, and seemingly suffering no casualties themselves. |
