The figures are nice but why is something as the title says 1755 listed in the American Revolution board? Shouldn't this be posted to the French and Indian War board? |

Yes, and he knew this since it had been lingering on the F&I board for weeks with no responses – for a reason. And no, they aren't a good job. They look nothing like Provincial troops in 1755 at the Mon (Braddock's Defeat?), and at least one of the figures is a pirate, and another is a Rev War Continental officer. Several of them don't even appear to be from the right century. Not even close. I guess Tango doesn't even know the difference. |

I have used AWI militia in F&I war scenarios, but the Continental officer is out of place, and the pirate is as well. I would still game with them. If he took the time and effort to paint them, who am I to complain? Game on! |

I am not faulting the owner of the figures, just the spammer who placed this post on the Rev War board after it got minimal interest in the F&I board. Don't confuse the two. LoL |

I usually do not comment on the accuracy or paint jobs of sites that a certain person hijacks. The paint job is acceptable.
But one is from a Highwayman range. The guy surrendering. Others are clerks. One of them is definitely a Continental officer.
But none of them are Virginia Provincials. It's an "all hands on deck" situation. We've all done that. But… |

This is the third time I'm seeing a thread on this. The first, by the person who has these figures, was enough. Here's the original … TMP link |
