6th Louisiana Militia Regiment

The Sixth Louisiana Militia Regiment 

23 December 1814

The 6th Louisiana led by Colonel Declouets was located at English Turn, which was in the rear area of the British advance brigade.  However, the Louisianans were commanded by the dithering Brigadier-General Morgan who took no action despite orders from Jackson and urging of Col. Declouets.  Only when the U.S.S. Louisiana opened fire and the 6th officers clamored to march to the sound of the guns did Morgan finally relent, and they slowly moved towards the British. After running to a British picket, the advance of the 6^th L.A. panicked and ran for the main battalion. The 6^th remained in line formation until about 2am and then withdrew back to English Turn. The Greatest Fury, p. 117.

Scenario Option; roll D6 for arrival of the 6trh LA Militia a need a D5 or 6 for arrival. 

Mostly Boot Hill figures and some Brigade Games and a few North Star. Colonel Declouets is at the center next to the flag bearer.

The flag bearer was modified to remove a pistol in favor of hand to grasp the pole.

I had the Louisiana flag made specially by Maverick Models.

All the officer and the flag bearer sergeant figures had epaulettes made of putty and formed to their shoulders
