25mm War of 1812

by Jim Birdseye

British and American 25mm infantry and command designed by Aly Morrison. The figures-received included NA65 British Standard Bearer in agreat coat (Standard not included), NA 67 British Standard Bearer in cocked hat (no standard), and NA70 American firing in full kit. All of these figures were cleanly cast and nicely detailed.

The webbing and belts on all the figures is finely presented as is the lace on the officers. These are well sculpted figures, I especially liked the detail on the American's flintlock. Its the best I've seen in this scale. Twenty-five millimeter is an excellent scale for the War of 1812..

The small number of troops present on any one battlefield means that there is usually little difficulty fielding whole armies. The line is relatively small, 18 foot figures, which includes militia and regulars, infantry and artillery. Hopefully this line will be expanded. The figures' BM is 24M and are compatible with Dixon 25mm figures. The cost per figure is $1.10 each. They can be purchased through PENDRAGON MINIATURES 1549 Marview Drive, Westlake, Ohio 44145.)
