War of 1812: Royal Marines

Another addition for the upcoming 1814 Chesapeake campaign for Sharp Practice, Royal Marines from Old Glory; although, these can be just as easily be used in the Canadas and the Spanish Peninsula. Unusually for Old Glory, this pack comes with limited pose variation and no NCO figures; thus, only the one Big Man for this batch.

War of 1812: Maryland militia

As I work toward a Sharp Practice mini-campaign set in the Chesapeake area in 1814, I have been continuing to add some American militia units from the various states in the area. This time up are some Maryland militia from the venerable Old Glory line. I realize some don't like these figures but I have a certain softness for them.  This is not least because of the low cost per figure but also that I have painted these figures before for a former collection and have a particular nostalgia for them. I find that one Old Glory bag of 30 figures is perfect for creating three 8-figure groups for Sharp Practice plus a few Big Men.
