Selling Middle East Buildings

Selling all my Middle East buildings. I want to swap my collection to buildings with removable roofs and these are not removable. There are 5 scratch build and 5 from GameCraft Minis as well as 8 tall walls and 9 low walls. I'd like to sell them as one lot for $125 but would consider splitting them into 3 lots: GameCraft Buildings $80, Scratch Built $50, and Walls $20. Not sure what shipping would cost but the are pretty light weight. Buyer pays shipping.

April Club Game

For our April game we are back with Muskets and Tomahawks for the FIW.
In this scenario the Colonials where trying to resupply and defend an outpost in contested territory on the Lake Erie coast. While the French and French Canadians endeavored to prevent this.
Their where 3 objectives: 
>First was the Outpost that the Colonials need to defend while French try to burn down.
>Second the new cannons that the Colonials need to drag from the shore to the outpost.
>Third a wagon full of food and powder that also needs to be dragged to the outpost.

British Force:
1 Provincial officer, who was mounted with a saber.  
4x12 units of Provincials with Muskets, they where auxiliary and trained. Half started in the outpost and half by the cannons and wagon
2 light artillery in the form of a Brigantine just off the shore line.
French Force: 
1 Marine officer w/ Musket, Light troop and scout.
2x9 units Marines w/ Muskets and Tomahawks. 
1 Canadian officer w/ Musket and Tomahawk. Scout, Coureurs des Bois: Native
 2x9 units of Coureurs des Bois armed w/ Muskets and Tomahawks. 
1 unit of 5 Indian w/ Rifles and Tomahawks. Scouts, Native, Indian Allies: Auxiliaries, Hunting Rifles. 
The first round ended with the Colonials either drawn or driven away from both the cannons and wagon with several casualties. The French had taken none.
2nd round showed the Provincials rally and unleash devastating firing line volleys inflicting heavy casualties. A unit of Marines and des Bois routed off the table. The Indians launched into melee and at first had the upper hand but eventually lost, fleeing with one 2 left.
3rd round started in French favor with 1 unit of Provincials routed and the supply wagon destroyed. But then the artillery finally found their range, driving back the marines. The Provincials in the outpost sallied forth to press the des Bois who wisely fell back.
By the end of round 3 the French had lost exactly 50% of their force while only inflicting 25% casualties on the Provincials. While they had completed 1 objective the Colonials had them on the run with the cannons and outpost well secured.

Recently Finished

I recently finished a bunch of miniatures for use in my FIW games so took some proper photos to share.

First up are 20 Canadian Coureurs des Bois, which are more skilled Militia. They are from 3 separate manufactures and I can only remember one of them for sure.

These 6 are from King Mount Minis 



I think these 6 are from Galloping Major.



 No memory of where I got these 8 but they are closer to 25mm.

The whole team. 


Next up are 5 Woodland Indians from Warlord Games. The rest are on the pain table. 











Lastly are 6 British Landing Party. Think I got them from Northstar. I have another 6 on the paint table.
