I have just made an order from Redbox for additional units of Highlanders and Ranger/Militia types. So my 18th century Jacobites, Crown forces and various Ranger, militia types can be filled out.
Update 7/6/2018:
Package arrived, painting shall commence once I have a rain day on my days off

I've begun to cut the figures off their sprues. I should have enough figures to field at least 4 Highland Regiments
4 Ranger companies
4 Jacobite battalions
2 English provincial regiments, one the 71st Regiment.
I'm consulting my Osprey publications to paint these up. I will be unable to mount then for some time,

1812 American invasion of Lower Canada
My first scenario of 1812 battles will be one of an American force trying to push through a Canadian force.
My American force is made up of a mix of militia types and some French regulars who for lack of anything else shall be the Americans.
My Canadian/British force is made up of a mix of SYW Canadian Milice, British regulars and First Nations warriors.
Further units will arrive later this summer as I've just placed an order for additional units of cavalry, and infantry.

the American forces were able to push back the British troops to their front and beat off a flanking attack.
