The War of 1812

This period offers a way to do something slightly different with the 28mm plastics now available.
I already have some ACW infantry and was a bit unsure of what to do with them. I could use a few to add to the existing old west skirmish figures, but a box of Perry plastics contains 36 figures! I think I can use some of these (in slouch hats) as American militia for the War of 1812.
British infantry and regular American infantry are easily done with Victrix and/or Perry.

Also, the War of 1812 allows me to explore more of my (adopted) country's history. Hopefully one day, I'll get to visit some of the battlefield sites...

There is a certain "toy soldiery" charm about the period with figures in unusual uniforms, small forces and so on.
