The Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 pretty much broke the back of the Northwestern Confederacy and the tribes in what is now Ohio. The new American Army under MG "Mad" Anthony Wayne had developed a new model: The Legion. Consisting of four Sub-Legions, it was a successful example of combined arms in a self-contained brigade-like organization. Wayne died in 1796 and the Legion concept died with him. But what if it continued and was the basis for the American Regulars in the War of 1812? Combining a battalion of Riflemen, two of Line, a light battery, and a troop of light dragoons, it was rigorously trained and led. How would things have changed?
That's my new experiment. Over the next few months, The Legion will take on the Anglo-Canadian forces in my 1812 Campaign. Some photos are posted of the 28mm version on my blog. I invite you to take a look and, as always, your comments are welcome!
