returns from Mexico with a new vision for making palm trees from scratch.
Here's my contribution for this month's release.
American War of Independence 1775-1783
28mm figures designed by Alan Perry
Lee's Legion were a small American force of infantry and cavalry mixed. For the cavalry, AW 131 and AW 132 can be used, as the cavalry uniform was almost identical in cut and colour to British Legion horse in 1781. Conversely, these infantry could be painted to represent the elusive British Legion foot, although I'm sure there'll be a bit of debate about that.
AW 145 - Lee's Legion Foot command advancing £6.00 GBP
AW 146 - Lee's Legion Foot advancing £6.00 GBP
The French infantry available here are wearing either the short-tailed 1776 coat or long-tailed 1779, as the army was in transition at this time. They can be used for America, India, West Indies, East Indies, Grenada, Senegal, Ceylon, Gibraltar, and the attack on Jersey in the Channel Isles.
AW 147 - French high command ( Lt. Gen de Rochambeau, Maj. Gen. Marquis de Chastellux, Maj. Gen. Marquis de St. Simon, Duc de Lauzun, an engineer officer with telescope, a topographical engineer and a mounted ADC receiving a message from an commissaire ordinnateur.) £10.00 GBP

We are experiencing a few problems getting hold of the large boxes we use (for cavalry, etc.), so you might find some of the early mounted packs of AWI and WOTR releases this month will be in improvised packaging. This is only a temporary measure as we're expecting the boxes in mid-February.
My wife Jill has decided to keep her gift shop Inspired in Nottingham on for another six months at least. Although we don't hold a stock of metals in the shop, you can leave an order with us by email or in the shop, and we'll contact you when it's ready to pick up if you are visiting Nottingham. She does, however, hold a stock of plastic Perry Miniatures and now Black Powder. The website for the shop, if you need directions, is jillperry.com.... it might also be handy for Valentine's Day prezzies......
