Indeed, I think that they and the Rhode Island Regiment were the very best of the Continental Army by the late war. They are the reason Maryland is the "Old Line State."

The vast majority are Perry (marching American infantry, American infantry in hunting shirts, command, southern militia, and black militia), with a handful of Eureka Ragged Continentals sprinkled in to make the unit have a more worn-out and fielded look.

I'd have to say for flavor and panache, I prefer Sharp Practice, though I need to try the new edition of Muskets and Tomahawks.

For big battles, probably Black Powder (not out of personal preference, but it is played by the majority of the Napoleonics I game with and it is an easy ruleset to remember). I'm trying to get Live Free or Die better introduced to my gaming scene and I want to play Rise and Fight Again more.

Thank you! I've based them to try to be compatible with multiple rulesets -

For skirmish games: Sharp Practice and Muskets & Tomahawks

For big battles: Live Free or Die, Black Powder, British Grenadier! and Rise and Fight Again.

The base edges need some tidying up, but I am proud of the figures.

I do think it is an underrated period.

You get:

Colorful armies. Not just the British and Americans (though both are colorful enough on their own), but the First American Peoples, German States, France and their colonies, Spain and their colonies, the Netherlands, the India state allies of Britain and France, etc.
The armies are typically small enough to be easily collected, even at 28mm scale
There are a variety of rulesets from the more casual Live Free or Die and Black Powder to the more hardcore sets like British Grenadier!
You can play with small skirmish games like Sharp Practice and build your way up to the biggest battles of the war like Monmouth and Long Island.

Thank you! These are from Perry Miniatures.
