Colonel Joseph 'Ol Dependable Brecher

The second of my Perry Miniatures mounted Militia Colonels has made it across the painting desk and has deployed into GHQ, and just in time too. I like to name my AWI commanders, just a bit of harmless fun really, after my many wargaming chums. Fittingly the Rebels/Patriots are generally named for my long standing American friends.
So, without more waffling on, here is Colonel Joseph'Ol Dependable Brecher, a native of Pennsylvania now residing in the Carolinas. His extensive experience in the late F&IW makes him an obvious choice to command the Militia alongside the less, much less, reliable Ebenezer Bykleigh ~

He has arrived on the eve of battle, an unexpected arrival but a welcome one. Sadly his long time compatriot, Major Moore, did not arrive in time to join the action. Something about his baggage loosing it's its way I seem to have heard...
