American War of Independence Colonial Militia

Description

America was a dangerous place to live in the 18th century, the communitiesfeeling under real or imagined danger from Indian attack or forays from Franceor Spain. The British army in America was tiny, so much of the defence wastraditionally performed by the Militias. These were civilian bodies, locallymanned and headed up by the great and the good, and equipped with state muskets.Their performance varied greatly, some behaving very well on the field whilstothers deserted or broke and ran when under pressure. What they did do was addmanpower to both armies. Militias fought for the American side, but thousandsalso fought as Loyalists for the Crown Forces. Militias rarely carried bayonets, so felt entitled not to close with regulars.

The figures in this box wear either 18th century civilian clothes or huntingshirts and trousers. A variety of headgear is included allowing you to alsomake models ideal to use as French troops in the French Indian War of1754–63.
