Sharp Practice – Haitian Slave Army 1791- 1793
Fortunately North Stars latest releases for Dracula’s America – The Congregation Arcanists make for perfect Voodoo religous leaders. More on those in future posts.
So on to the force composition, I wanted to give them a suitable mass as very often the forces would heavily out number the local garrison and plantation owners but also some flexibility in terms of skirmish and hand to hand troops.
One contemporary wrote of the insurgent forces. „instead of exposing themselves as a group like fanatics they fought spreadout and dispersed and positioned themselves in places that made ready to envelop and crush their enemies. If they encounter resistance they don’t waste their energy but if they see hesitation in the defence they become extremely audacious“
With this in mind I went for the following.
Slave Army, Night of Fire 1791-1793

Force Specific Characteristics
Big Choppers: These troops have no ranged fire capability but are very aggressive and well versed in close combat. In the first round of Fisticuffs they fight as Clan rather than Wallahs.

With a relatively low force value of 39 points and some very cheap groups it gives plenty of options to add additional units to the force depending on the scenario.
