Wargames Factory American Militia

From the FB page. 28mm hard plastic
Northstar are taking orders.They say
This box set contains 30 highly detailed multi-part plastic miniatures representing volunteer militia that fought for both freedom and in defense of His Majesty King George. The sprues contain militia wearing both 18th Century civilian clothes and the fringed hunting shirts “frocks” with buckskin trousers and moccasins. There are options for the militia to carry muskets or the longer, more accurate rifled musket and there are three headgear options including the tricorne hat, round hat, and knit cap or ‘liberty’ cap.
The box includes three sprues of militia with arms and options to create officers, musicians, and equip the soldiers with tomahawks. There are enough plastic bases for all 30 miniatures and the militia parts are interchangeable with other kits in the American War of Independence range allowing for dynamic and creative options.
