Preliminary Post-Game Photos

Hey, what do you mean, post-game photos?  Well, first I ran the game and took some photos before and along the way - which will come later.  And then I engaged in a little self-indulgence after the game by adjusting the terrain and lining up the troops for a few photos, just 'cause.
So, above shows five British companies facing off against 4 French companies.  British front has highland grenadiers center, highlanders to the right, and provincials to the left.  In support are two more provincial units (I have a couple more units painted that didn't make it out of their boxes today, regulars and militia).

The French have one unit of regulars and two of colony marines up front with a unit of militia in support.   Doesn't look very good for the French in that situation, does it?
Then again, what's going on over on the British right?  Those four units moving through the trees are all French allied natives and way off in the far distance on the French right is a unit of courier du bois skirting the woods with another group of natives to their right.  And off to the far British left are some rangers heading up into the trees to clear them - with an unfriendly welcome.  So, who wins in such an encounter?  (two more units of natives didn't make it our of their boxes today, either)

That is a question for another game some time.  I'll post pictures later before and during the game but bed time beckons.
