A blog on War gaming in North-eastern North America from 1670-1815, the life of an ex EFL instructor, a family man formerly in Japan and now in Canada , a camper, a reenactor, a drummer, and all round crazy but home Nova Scotian. Having taught for an extended period my career is now in private security.

French Fortresses in North America
Every major and minor fort the French constructed from Louisbourg to Louisiana is covered. Amazingly how far they got. And how far inland some of the stone forts actually were. As well, it shows how parts of the present USA were actually parts of New France until the loss of Montreal in 1760
The British Army in North America 1775-1783
Why 2 copies of the same book? At one time I had 3 and my father has a 4th!
I bought the reprinted issue for the colour plates.
These volumes centers on British Regiments which served in North America. The original Osprey series was limited to uniforms, how advanced its now become is mind boggling

One of the books I bought many years ago. I've used this volume to paint up several troops particularly Grenadiers for Luzons Legion.
Once I get a chance to check my French troops I'll post some pictures in another post
British Light Infantry of the Seven Years War
One of the books I got during my MA research. I've painted up several companies for my Louisbourg and Quebec British force.

French Regiments in New France: La Sarre
I've only modeled the Grenadier company at the moment but I may find some other figures for the remaining companies. This is not so unusual as Montcalm regularly sent penny packets of his troops to far off garrisons.
