The second part of a great set of releases, and one of my favorites.

Please take note of the dates, because once the Pre-Order period ends then you will no longer be able to order the Collectors Club.

On behalf of the John Jenkins Dealers, we would like to thank John for including all of us in the Collectors Club, and allowing us to make it available to a much wider audience. I know I enjoy it a lot more as a result.

JJ DESIGNS COLLECTORS’ CLUB SET#15 and #16
STATUS –PREVIEW PERIOD, 21st NOVEMBER – 19th DECEMBER 2012


Rogers’ servant had been with him for many years. During the Battle of Snowshoes they became separated, and the servant found himself travelling with Captain Henry Pringle, and Lieutenant Boyle Roche. Pringle wrote that during the retreat , “one night the servant, straggled from us, where he sat down, fell asleep and died immediately, tho a very strong man.”

From Osprey"s Artillery Equipment of the Napoleonic Wars (Wise and Hook), page 11.

"Another vehicle which accompanied each company was the two- or four- wheeled mobile forge. This consisted of a flat bed lined at one end with an iron plate set to take the fire, another iron plate set vertically near the centre of the bed to prevent the fire spreading, bellows at the rear of the bed and a wooden trough for water. Boxes secured to the end nearest the team held an assortment of tools, and of course coal was carried. The French four-wheeled forgres utilized the standard limber for the front wheels and the method of draught."
 
From the description below, my guess is the low box in the front is the water trough.
