First Infantry Unit Done !

For a complete newcomer to the AWI period, the choice of

battles and theatres is quite daunting, but not as much as the

bewildering array of units and uniforms.







I found some illustrations on the net, a lot of which look very

much like Osprey pages scanned in by naughty people, but

in the end I decided to get the books recommended by the

good folk on the TMP.





Some of these are a few years old, but I don't think they can

be bettered for general use.








While I was waiting for the books to arrive I started on some Brits. A unit of regulars (with a few variations in kit and hats) plus a gun detachmnent. They mostly have tricorns, but otherwise are as vanilla as I can get. Strictly speaking they are probably only suitable for very early war, but they going to see a lot of action.
