I was wondering what everyone thought on the compatibility of troops, militia, equipment, buildings etc between the FIW & the AWI. As both conflicts were so close together time wise it would seem that not much changed in either the military, indian or colonial world between to two conflicts. I would think that displaying pieces together would work pretty well overall.
Of course there would be some clear exceptions, the forming of the American Continental Army vs the Colonial Regulars formed by the British during the FIW for example. Different uniforms, standard equipment etc. But even those were pretty close I would think.
But I would imagine that the American militia during the AWI and the Colonial Militia during the FIW would be very similar and could cross over. So using the W Britain AWI militia would work in a FWI setting for example. Same for the forces consisting of indians for that matter.
The biggest exception would be the use of flags of course.
Concentrating on the FWI right now and it would be nice to be able to pull some AWI figures into some settings if they mixed well.
So what does everyone think?
