Good Morning
Please find the very latest information on the new releases scheduled for September. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, as always we will have on the web site later on today.

BATTLE ON SNOWSHOES
The Rangers who went on the winter scout patrols, not only had to worry about the French and Indians. The many extra perils facing a Ranger in the Adirondack Mountains were temperatures that often reached 40 degrees below zero, snow blindness, bleeding feet, hypothermia, and frostbite.
Things got only worse the more they neared the enemy positions, as fireless camps had to be endured. Therefore any opportunity to make a camp and build a small fire and have a warm drink would have been greatly appreciated.

WINTER CAMPERS - 2 Figures and fireplace
Limited Edition 500
Retail us$64
Many Rangers were recruited from the New Hampshire frontier, and were highly skilled in surviving outdoors in various extremes of wilderness conditions. Bush Tents of Pine boughs were built around a central fireplace, and served the Rangers as shelters on winter scouts, and for the experienced Ranger were “but the work of half an hour at the most”.
SRR-08 - Battle on Snowshoes 1758
WINTER BUSH TENT

BATTLE ON THE MONONGAHELA 1755
Robert Orme (1725 – 1790) joined the Coldstream Guards in 1745, and was promoted to Lieutenant in 1751.
He was aide-de-camp to General Braddock and was wounded at the Battle on the Monongahela.
He was to return to England and resigned from the army in 1756.
His portrait was painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1756, and can now be seen at the National Gallery in London.
BM-12 - The Battle of Monongahela 1755

BATTLE OF THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM
At the start of the encounter the French army had seven infantry battalions making up Montcalm’s hastily formed battle line. The outermost two of these regular battalions were two units formed from the “Compangnies Franches”.
This will be the first of many new French sets to be released over the next few months.
