Rogers Ranger Gary Zaboly

Thomsomfeld sent me this image quite a while ago and I kind of ignored it as I thought it too fanciful but having seen the Thomas Davies Ranger picture I feel that this may have some historical basis. Apologies all round.

Believe it or not I dont think I have featured this movie before as it is pretty terrible but this battle scene is pretty good and worth watching. It's one of the best reconstructions of linear warfare I have seen but that's just my opinion.

New Fort William Henry Osprey

A new piece of artwork has been released by Osprey from Ian Castle's forthcoming Osprey on Fort William Henry.

Ian Castle (see photo) is well known as a reenactor and author over here in the UK and his years of reenacting the F&I war with NFOE will make this a cracking book when it comes out.

Illustrator: Graham Turner

PS - I heard from Ian with some more details - he says
The book will actually start with the 1755 campaign on the Lake George frontier and carry the story on up to the end of the fort's life after the siege of August 1757. The artwork plate you have is illustrating Dieskau's attack on Johnson's camp at the Battle of Lake George. The other artwork plates show incidents from the March 1757 siege, the August 1757 siege and, finally, a scene from the 'massacre'.

I think the 42nd changed their facing colour and were blue faced by 1763 - anyone verify this? Actually I found it out to be correct by looking at the Project SYW page
 I have been looking for a Muskets and Tomahawks scenario for Bushy Run but no luck so far. With the new SYW Highlanders coming out from Northstar it is certainly doable...
