Looking for any 28mm ranges dedicated to 17th century Colonial American, i.e., English, Dutch and French. Also period-specific Native Americans. I'm aware of the ranges from Flint and Feather and Brigade. Both are excellent, but limited. Others? Not looking for Conquistadors. There are of course a very wide range at 17th century ECW or 30YW figures that could be subbed in, but again, I'm wondering if I'm overlooking any dedicated ranges. Thanks |

How about Brigade Games' range, King Philip's War? link |

Stockades in the eastern USA were a lot smaller than movies lead us to believe. The procedure by 1810 was to assign a West Point graduate at each stockade to plan the walls and train militia. Stockades were no wider than the musket range. So a man on a far all could reach the nea wall to hit the enemy trying to climb over. I have seen the core only 50 feet by 50 feet. Though cabins and tents would be place outside the main wall. Aimed fire with long rifles are a bonus in effect. Rifle range was not a primary factor but musket was. |

BillyNM: As I wrote in my original post, I am aware of the Brigade KPW figures. They are very good, but there are not many of them. TimePortal: "range" in this context means a product line of 28mm figures. |

Sorry about that. My mind was stuck on range and stockades. You might check the Blood and Plunder range of castings. They cover all of the nations mentioned. |

I was mistaken. They are on the Pulp Fiction site under Huron/Iroquois Wars. Very nice figures. |

King Phillip's War would make an excellent variant for The Sword & the Flame rules. Just the right level of conflict and interesting mix of troop types. |

The Flint and Feather range I mentioned in my original post is the one from Crucible Crush and distributed by Pulp. I have them all.But looking for what else is out there. |

Wargames Foundry has a handful of "Early American Indian" figures in its Horse and Musket range (3 groups of 6 figures each, marked as Northern Tribes, Southern Tribes and Iroquois) that are listed as usable for the 16th through early 19th centuries-albeit the wars they list for which the figures would be suitable run from the "Powhaton War 1622-44" to the "Yarnasee War 1715-16." As for size, I "think," but am not sure, that these are Foundry's older "large 25mm," rather than Foundry's 28mm or large 28mm figures-if figure size is important to you, then try to find some size comparisons as Foundry figures vary in size a bit depending on when they were sculpted. I also have a vague recollection that Foundry once had a few matchlock armed settler types in civilian clothing that would be usable for 17th century colonial warfare, but I can't find them on the Foundry website now and I could well be mistaken. Some of the Foundry Pike and Shot range (Elizabethans etc.) might serve your purpose, though they look a bit too uniform and European to my eye for colonial warfare. And the Foundry 17th century stuff (Marlborough etc) look too modern for your purposes, but YMMV. |

Eureka Miniatures has Powhatan Indians wielding bows as part of an 8 miniature set. |

Bloody Scottsmen Games has some character figures that you could use in their "Devil in the Wilderness" line. link I also used Old Glory and Wargames Foundry ECW figures, but I am collecting more for the Witch Trials part of history. |

Thank you, especially Dennis for that detailed reply. The Eureka Powhatan set looks like a great complement to the Flint and Feather Huron/Iroquois. Does anyone know how they are size-wise compared to other ranges? |
