His Majesty's Loyal Belgravian Legion has mustered and is now in the process of firing a few practice rounds.

A closeup of the firing line ...

doesn't look like effective volley fire is in progress - they'll need more practice !
[25/28mm figs: bulk of unit is Front Rank from their SYW and AWI ranges; battalion gun crew plus a few militiamen are from Redoubt FIW range]

A very fine and likely mix.
Are the ones uniformed in blue coats wearing the 'official' uniform of the militia, or are they 'professionals' from a regular unit providing a 'cadre'?
Do I see a clergyman on the extreme right?
They'll need more practice, but look eager to improve!
Quantity has a quality all its own.
Send them back to the butts - more practice and less games of chance/drinking etc!
An excellent unit Sir!

The ones uniformed in blue coats are wearing the 'official' uniform of the militia. In peacetime there is 1 company and a cadre of officers, at times of war the ranks are swelled by the reservists who bring their own kit and muskets.

Does anybody dare to inspect the private kit of militia?
