Today in 1755

The Battle of Lake George was fought on 8 September 1755, in the north of the Province of New York.[2] It was part of a campaign by the British to expel the French from North America, in the French and Indian War.[3] General Jean-Armand, and Baron Dieskau led a variety of regulars and irregulars. William Johnson led an army consisting solely of colonial irregulars and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) warriors under Hendrick Theyanoguin. The battle consisted of three separate phases and ended in victory for the British and their allies.[4] Afterward, Johnson built Fort William Henry in order to consolidate his gains.

Survey from HaT


HaT is hoping to expand their 1/32 line; their next offering looks to be ARW British Infantry. They have posted a non-binding survey to ask folks how they would want their ARW British sets configured. For those of you not familiar with HaT they did this often with their 1/72 sets.
