British Legion Reinforcements

I ordered two figures from Stone Mountain Miniatures to complete out the British Legion group that I bought from Old Glory 15s. The miniatures themselves are really nice. The riders are cast onto the horses. I am of two minds on this. Separate horse and rider allows you to paint them separately and I think I can do a better job that way with my painting. However, with it one piece, there is no gaps between the rider and the horse that can look strange if they don't fit correctly.

This gives me two groups of British Legion Cavalry with command elements and several big men. I will have three groups of British Legion infantry and a group of British Legion Skirmishers. I also have a light gun with British Regular artillerists for suppport. Once this force is painted, I will be looking at doing some games set in South Carolina following the British Legion in the back country. I have a copy of Tarelton's account of the Revolution somewhere. The British Legion often operated with detached groups that raided across the back country. Such as when Christian Huck's groups raided the back country until they were caught.

Hopefully, I will have a chance to paint this week. Last week was tied up with Thanksgiving festivities and a honey-do list.
