I believe this unit made its debut in the battle report I did some while back, losing quite heavily to fire from Morgan's rifles if I recall. 20 figures (5 bases) representing around 200 actual men. Whilst a fairly sombre uniform it gives a nice contrast to the red ranks of the British and loyalist regulars.
A real gap in my collection was filled by the completion of a couple of battalions of light infantry. I already have a few in skirmish order but no British army of the period can do without a contingent ready to fight in more traditional fashion. Here are 2 battalions of 24, although I may increase them to 32s at some point. These guys are pretty handy in most rules (they certainly are in mine) being both high in morale and aggressive in action.
British grenadiers are next on the list to boost the forces of the crown. After that a couple more line battalions, another loyalist unit and maybe some British Legion cavalry. From then on it will just be the odd addition if something takes my fancy - the Perry British Guards do look very nice! I am trying to set a limit on my AWI (and ACW) forces - let's see how that goes!!
