The Seven Years War’s campaign fought in the North American colonies is my all-time favourite war scenario. The nature of the fight (to gain control of remote outposts and isolate forts, in the middle of a vast wilderness) and the heterogenic small armies of the fighters (all kind of Rangers, Militia, Indian tribes and Regulars) is a never ending source of joy for a modeller who likes guerrilla warfare and non-standard armies. The variety could be immense.
Even though all this, it has been an extremely neglected period. Just a couple of sets produced so far: Indians and Rangers. Despite the Italeri’s Indians being (to my taste) one of the best sets ever produced in plastic, too few to build anything substantial about.
That is why I felt so excited about Giuseppe’s beautiful masters been casted in metal. My only fear was that many good masters turn into no so good figures when casted. I love metal figures more than any, but too often metal casting produce coarse and poorly detailed figures.
Well, I must say that I’m delighted with Giuseppe’s figures. They are at the very top of my tastes in every sense. I really hope their selling goes well enough for him producing more sets. Certainly, I’m going to buy as many he can produce.
These are two French Compagnies Franches de Marine mixed with their Indian allies ready to raid all along the Ohio Valley...
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did...
All the best!
