'Reconnaissance' from ChristopherS: River Hawks

The American Indian is an iconic symbol of reconnaissance and is the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking of the ideal scout. There is no doubt myth and legend are part of it, but with these type things it usually is based on some foundation of truth.  There is enough written testimony of both civilians and military leaders using valuable information gathered from Indians or on the flip side being surprised on their sudden appearance out of nowhere to substantiate this belief.

The scene before is set in the French and Indian Wars with a couple of Huron warriors allied to the French gliding up the Mohawk river looking for the best location to conduct a raid on the English and their Mohawk allies.

The figures are from Redoubt who have an excellent French and Indian war range with canoes included for Indians, French and the English. I painted the miniatures using a combination of Foundry paints and Vallejo paints.

This is a planned Deployment marker for Sharp Practice from TFL. If you like making deployment markers then French and Indian Wars is excellent period for that as you can make both water and land markers offering lots of creative ways to explore making markers. I plan on making some more.:-)

Let me see that's 2X 28mm figure for 10pts, 1 canoe 10pts. as I don't know how to score it and 50pts. for the theme round for a total of 70pts.

Thanks for viewing!
