Quebec infantry, French & Indian War Crann Tara April 2025/January 2026
I spent a while in my youth living in the absolutely wondrous and lovely city of Toronto and, while the experience was a huge adventure and I made many friends, and have many fond memories, I never really explored Canada’s rich and storied history while I was there (I was a young buck of 23 who was more interested in visiting the filming locations from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World). That’s changed recently, however, and I’ve recently gained a bit of an obsession with the place, and Quebec in particular, though sadly I never visited, despite Montreal being on my list.
Here we have one base of three Compagnies Franches de la Marine, flanked by three Coureurs de Bois, ready to take the fight to the British across the dense forests and vast mountains of New France. Miniatures are from the wonderful Crann Tara - a manufacturer who absolutely deserves more coverage, as their 18th century figures are beautiful, and incredibly good-quality for their reasonable price.
