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...
An impressive and beautiful arrival!
