1st Pennsylvania Regiment


Here's a second regiment in Hunting shirts, in this case either died a dull yellow or made from deerskin or similar.

The flag is one of those carried by the First Pennsylvania regiment of the Continental Line.

These are Brigade Games figures, excellent sculpts by Paul Hicks. 

The first Pennsylvania fought at most of the battles in Pennsylvania and New Jersey during 1776 - 1778.

The flag is by Adolfo Ramos. Kike many Amwerican flags created prior to the Declaration of Indepence, it has the Union in the canton, and a solid colored field bearing patriotic emblems, in this case the Rattlesnake motif, with the motto, "Don't Tread on Me". 

Once again the "magic wash" really does work wonders on these figures!

This unit also has a re-enactor group: https://www.firstpa.org/index.html

    1. Thank you, Richard! I am really enjoying doing these armies, in case that isn't readily apparent!

  2. A striking unit Peter and one you're not going to lose sight of on the table. I just hope they don't get picked on in games for being so conspicuous. Beautifully done.
