The King's famous Redcoats, taking the fight to the savage Indian and their oldest enemy – the French.
British soldiers have earned a reputation for being stubborn, well disciplined, and professional. From the fields of Europe to the wilds of Africa, the islands of the Caribbean, and the mountains of the Far East, British soldiers have fought against tough odds and maintained their iron discipline. For the generals of European armies in the 18th Century, war had developed into a gentleman's sport, fighting engagements in the open fields of Europe.

Contained in this lovely metal boxed set are 18 metal British infantrymen, including a command group of six (officer, two NCOs, two standardbearers and a drummer). Also included are wire standard-poles and metal flag finials. To adorn these standard poles, we've included full-color flags for several regiments on a background leaflet.
For those of you who want larger units, we have packs of eight musketeers – four marching and four firing – to bolster your boxed set. Take that, Johnny French!
Covering warfare in the 18th Century, The Last Argument of Kings supplement for our Black Powder game also features the French& Indian War. The author of this supplement has also penned a great article on refighting the Battle of Quebec (with a few differences to keep you on your toes!).
