I started a diorama project many years ago to portray The Battle of Bushy Run. The project did not materialize beyond purchasing some excellent French and Indian War (FIW) from Dixon Miniatures in the UK.
Dixon figures were marketed as 25mm but were always closer to today's popular 28mm figures.
I painted some up but they served as a garrison in a cigar box until I reentered wargaming. A friend wanted to do the period using Rebels and Patriots and I was all in.
My FIW collection is large. I have core units for three configurations using Rebels and Patriots. One core force consists of British Foot, and another consists of Provincials, regulars, and militia.
The third consists of four units of the famous Black Watch, the 42nd Highlanders.
A core force in Rebels and Patriots is 24 points, although we frequently go up to 36 points in our games.
Below is my core force of the 42nd Black Watch for Rebels and Patriots.
These figures are the "line" RAFM Highlanders for the period. I use them as line infantry, and without an upgrade, the unit would cost 4 points. |

The total point cost for the four units without an upgrade is 20 points, but seeing as Highland units rate the fierce upgrade and the discipline upgrade, we would be way over the 24 points for a core army.
