From ScottM: Civilians at Rousell's Sandhill (50 points)

Having finished my journey to the Snow Lord's Peak, our heroes decide to wander down the Path of the New Shiny. Our first stop is at Rousell's Sandhill. Two of the figures in the set below are wearing floppy hats. I went with King William's War, the North American theater of the Nine Year's War. Conflict in this theater had France and England squaring off against each other. During this conflict, there were numerous raids against various settlements. One of those raids involved this group of figures.

In early 1690 a force of French and their Native American allies attacked the village of Schenectady in the New York colony. As the community was undefended, the civilians had to fend for themselves.


This group of figures (from left to right), John Godfrey, Williams Ballard, Robert Beaumont and Henry Peck were some of the village's defenders.


All but John Godfrey fell defending their homes and families from the rampaging French and Natives. Godfrey escaped the carnage and was able to reach the safety of the fort at Albany.

These figs are from Sash and Saber and are actually from their French and Indian War line.
So that should be: 4 28mm foot figs = 20 +30 (location bonus) = 50 points.


And our journey continues!

From DaveD - aah , more floppy hatted goodness - 50 points it is!
