My aim is to research the tactics, orders of battle, topography, the units, and their uniforms for every major battle of the War of 1812 with a view to collecting and painting 28mm miniatures to war game each battle. The figure ratio is 1:20, the ground scale is 1” = 20 yards. General de brigade with a War of 1812 addendum, are the house rules.

Captain Jugeant's Choctaw Company
Captain Jugeant's (also spelled Jugeat) Company of Choctaw Volunteers
Plate from the Chalmette Battlefield Visitor Centre.
Jugeat's Choctaws are credited with the continual harassments of the British pickets during the battle. Here is my rendition of the Choctaw company.
The 28mm figures are from North Star's Musket and Tomahawks Series.
The four figures are mounted on 20mm MDF circles that have a small magnet inserted in the center bottom of each circle.
Each MDF stand has space for five 20mm removeable circles and has magnetized thin metal bottom. The stand is spaced for horde formation, the equivalent of an open order structure. At some point I might replace the removeable stump with a Captain Jugeat figure.
So, just two more units to complete the order of battle for the First battle of New Orleans, the 6th Louisiana Militia Regiment and the schooner USS Carolina.
Lovely work on these Rod
