Description

We continue the French & Indian War series with the British 60th Regiment of Foot Set. It is the same as the Virginia Regiment set, but in red resin.

The 60th or Royal American Regiment of Foot was originally raised as a four battalion British infantry regiment in 1755-56 to meet the needs of forest warfare in North American at the onset of the French and Indian War. Proposed by Jacques Prevost, a Swiss soldier and adventurer (and friend of the Duke of Cumberland) and after receiving Royal accreditation, officers and soldiers were secured from both the American colonies and Europe, many of Swiss and German descent (including Frederick Haldimand, later Major General and Governor of Canada and Quebec Province during the American Revolution). The Royal Americans were to distinguish themselves as one of the best fighting units in the British Army throughout their subsequent service to the Crown. The various battalions were to play a major role in nearly every campaign of the French and Indian War (1755-63) and Pontiac’s Uprising (1763-64).

They are around 54mm in size or 1/32 in scale. Seven Soldiers in Seven different poses. The set depicts the Regiment fighting in a line or skirmish that they would use against the Canadians & Indians. Miniatures are scaled to about the same size as Barzso Playset figures. Colors may vary. Usually shades of Red. Sets are mailed out 2 to 4 weeks after order.
