Perry Miniatures: New Plastic French Revolutionary Infantry Preview


Perry Miniatures: We have examples of the first two frames of the next plastic set in. The command frame is in tooling at the moment. The main frame has the torso/heads, legs packs and headgear. The second frame is the arm frame. As you can see the heads are attached to the torsos as this allows queues and long hair to fall over the collars naturally without compromising the tooling.

One of the main things Alan wanted to achieve was a good variation in headgear and leg and footwear as shown in so many pictures of the 1790’s, which also corresponds with the regimental records. To do this the figures are split at the waist. Breeches, with and without gaiters, civilian overalls (ragged and semi-ragged), clogs, shoes in good and bad states of repair as well as bare feet are all covered. There will be additional gaitered legs on the command frame too, if you want a bit more formality to your unit.

On the main frame two torsos have the short tailless civilian carmagnole jacket, which can be painted in the national colours or as civilian clothing. Two other torsos have civilian long tailed coats. No release date yet.

WIP Games and Miniatures: On Bloody Ground The American War of Independence Pre-Order


WIP Games and Miniatures: We're very pleased to announce that our next rulebook in the On Bloody Ground series is now up on the website for pre-order! OBG - The American War of Independence has been a lot of fun to work on, and we've had some amazing playtest games with this period. Terrain and army choice is a big part of each battle, as is trying to out manoeuvre your opponent in order to get a few shots into enemy units, before charging in for combat!

The British army, fresh from victory in the French and Indian War, is a mobile, elite force, with some excellent allied units available within their Hessian and Loyalist allies. The Continental Army, although primarily made up of troops with less experience, is also able to tap into a variety of effective and unique elite units, as well as its French allies, who themselves are also a stand alone army. The Spanish, although not able to directly join forces with either the Continental or French armies, have an effective range of unit and commander options, and are certainly able to stand their ground against even the most determined onslaught from the British! Check the pre-order here
