Despite being one of the major conflicts of the 18th century, and often described as the first World War, the Seven Years War has received scant attention in this hobby to date. There are a few sets for the Austrians and Prussians, but none for the Russians or French, and the British have only been represented by a handful of limited edition sets from BUM depicting Roger’s Rangers. Now at last, we have a mainstream set for the British, although technically the Rangers were not part of the British Army itself. Instead, as ‘His Majesty’s Independent Company of Rangers’, Roger’s Rangers were raised in 1757 to serve as raiders, scouts, and generally as light infantry, and were to inspire the creation of more formal light infantry units as well as achieve fame for their many exploits and the incredible hardships they suffered in the course of their duty. To what extent they caused the defeat of the French in the French and Indian War can be debated, but they were a fascinating part of that struggle and richly deserve to be depicted in this hobby.
