Freeman’s Farm war game staged at the Seven Years War Association convention several years ago. Fife and Drum figures, of course. |
I have been reluctant to take down the AWI terrain from our recent skirmish game that we played several weeks ago. The table terrain looks really good and it may well be one of my best efforts ever (or at least in my top ten). I staged several pictures of Saratoga British and their Indian allies on the table. They are shown below:
 |
British flank company troops wearing the cut down jackets and hats worn by Burgoyne’s troops in the Saratoga Campaign of 1777. |
 |
Highlander flank company men. I paired one firing and one loading figure together. |
 |
More Highlanders on the edge of a cornfield |
 |
The Crown’s Loyalist troops (Boo, hiss; or huzzah, depending on your point of view) These are mostly American militia figures painted with green coats and buff facings. The officers come from the British Fife and Drum figures. |
 |
Burgoyne’s Mohawk allies. These were the last figures that Richard Ansell sculpted for me. |
 |
Indians taking cover in a cornfield. I like how this picture turned out. |
 |
More Mohawk allies, this time wearing hunting shirts. |
 |
British line infantry in Saratoga uniforms |
 |
Daniel Morgan’s riflemen at Saratoga. These figures were sculpted to specifically be Morgan’s Rifles. |
 |
American militia. Sorry about the poor lighting in this picture. |
 |
New Hampshire regiments |
 |
Daniel Morgan directs his riflemen during the opening stages of Freeman’s Farm |
 |

 |
Brunswick grenadiers converted from FD Hessian grenadiers |
 |
Desperate action up close on the skirmish line. |
