The seed for this project has been growing in my head for some years now. After the movie of the same name was embeded in my head, and with the release of the Redoubt range of figures for the French and Indian War, the project has now started to come together and bear fruit. This page will be added to as the collection grows and the story unfolds.

The simple rules for this game were written by Rex Hurley. Click on the link to view them.

Hope you enjoy the site. And don't forget to click on the photos if you want to see enlarged versions.

The Figures displayed here are mainly by Redoubt, but for the eagle-eyed there are a few Front Rank figures dotted here and there.

All figures painted and based by Rex Hurley. Photos taken by me. Many thanks to Roly Hermans for putting this web page together. Rex also wrote the rules for the game - click here to see them.

This game will be appearing around a few conventions in New Zealand this year, being run as a display / participation game. Hopefully we'll see you there .....
