Another new Soldiers Free character - but who is he?
In the case of this new Soldiers Free character, I deliberately sculpted him to be usable in quite a few different roles. He could be a militia officer or a civilian with some military experience - or time spent on the frontier - useful to galvanise the members of a small settlement in defence against a French & Indian attack, he could be a trader or suttler, a master waggoner, a distinguished character of your choice or simply an additional officer for your ranger unit. You’ll have considerable choice in how you want to use him – and to paint him, and I’ve used a very civilian palette in painting this sample up to illustrate that latitude. I hope you’ll be happy to find him a place in one of your units.
Cheers,
Lance

Why Soldiers Free?
We thought it would be a pleasant (if not entirely original) idea to produce some "giveaways", and send one of them out free with every order of four packs or more (and now with all orders of wargames rules and/or books), so we're starting out with the Woodland Indians we made for the French & Indian War some time back. There are three Mohawk warriors and one Huron: Mohawk 1 is shown above as a painted version, Mohawk 2 & 3 are below, along with one of their sworn enemies, our first Huron.
We'll release new giveaways as we go, in fact we have one or two waiting in the wings already, they'll be added to this page as they become available. We'll send our "Soldiers Free" out with orders subject to availability, some will eventually be retired from service, either permanently or temporarily, as others step into the ranks to take their place.
We'll try to ensure that regular customers eventually receive at least one of each figure as they place orders, usually in order of release, but if there's one you simply must have ahead of the rest, get in touch and we'll do our best to supply it.
Watch this space.
New Soldiers Free Ranger
We thought it was about time we added a new character to our Soldiers Free. He'll be available randomly with orders of 4 packs or more - unless you e-mail us to request a specific Soldier Free with your order - see above. You'll also see that he comes along with units FIW RC 1 and FIW RU1.
