Yes they are for Donnybrook, I know I know!
The men of the Massachusetts Bay Militia fought in the Battle of Bloody Brook which
was fought on September 12, 1675 between militia from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a band of Indians led by Nipmuc sachem Muttawmp. The Indians ambushed colonists escorting a train of wagons carrying the harvest from Deerfield to Hadley. They killed at least 40 militia men and 17 teamsters out of a company that included 79 militia.
Sounds to me like this could make a cool game?
Not sure what make the figures are, but I know they're ECW Irish, but they will do very
nicely for colonists in the 1670's.
These brave men of Massachusetts should earn me 40 pts!
*check's Ray's arithmetic* 8 x 25mm foot @ 5 points each = 40 points. my word - he's actually got it right!
Cracking work on these militia chaps. Maybe we'll get to see them in an AAR sometime, probably around AHPC XIV at your rate!

Excellent irregulars, they really look the part.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSounds like a nasty fight- was it Bloody Brook before that, or named afterwards?
