Can British figures with c 1745 uniforms be used for 1757 Seven Years War/ French and Indian? |
| Royston Papworth | 20 Aug 2023 8:21 a.m. PST |
Technically no, they are slightly different. However to 97% of gamers, yes, why not… |

Agree with Royston Papworth. |

I use WAS, FIW and 7YW figures fairly interchangeably in 10mm. |

From what I understand, the differences between '45 Brits and SYW Brits are even less than WAS and SYW French. |

Another with Royston P. If someone dares to pull you upon it, look about the room. I guarantee that everyone else will be rolling their eyes. That said. For the French Indian Wars the British did use a cut down coat for their light infantry (if memory serves) to stop it snagging in the undergrowth (apparently). So you might need a few of those as extra units if you go for that war. But, the line units will be fine. |

I think the unasked question is, are you starting to build a force for SYW British? if yes, then I always suggest using correct figures. Otherwise, I'm pretty much with the rest of the crew here. Use what you have, put on a game, and entertain yourself and others. |
