Will Lasalle be suitable for fighting actions of the War of 1812 on the Niagara frontier?

Yes, definitely, BUT... you'll have to come up with your own army lists and ratings for the American and Canadian units, as they're not in the book.

Americans, Canadians, and Native Americans. Also little difficulties like the two 24 British pounders on the hill at Lundys Lane.

To make something official, it would probably be best for Sam Mustafa - the designer of Lasalle - to create the Army Lists for both the American and British forces in North America. I use the term "British" to include Canadian units since Canada was still part of the British Empire.

Anyone with interest/knowledge in the period can design the lists. Sam only has to approve them to make them official.
We should not be relying on Sam to do all the list work.

I am very interested in using Lasalle for gaming the War of 1812. I am sure if some of us put our heads together we could come up with the lists.

Oh goody more work for me to do.
Just kidding, I've actually been giving this some thought as I slowly paint up my Brits.
Plenty of info on all combatants and just a matter of converting units into LaSalle stats. Indian/Aboriginal forces might be hard to do, perhaps considered Irregulars.Posted 6 months ago # -
I have a nice collection of 15mm American War of 1812 figures so I'm eager to see some official Army Lists for the Americans and British in North America.
I'm still cutting my teeth on Lasalle, but I can give it a go at making Army Lists, or help others interested in creating one. And if you have already started, lets share.

I haven't started anything, but if people are interested we could start a discussion on how to approach it. I'm not an expert in this period by any stretch so perhaps someone who is smarted than I could get the ball rolling ;)

I have started scenarios for most everything I thought was a good size for Lasalle on the wiki (see http://sites.google.com/site/honourscenarios/home) and I have some pretty clear ideas on the army lists for both the US and British/Empire forces that I was going to put up for discussion over the next few days.
I am by no means an expert so I would love some collaborators.

Awesome! I am looking forward to trying these out.

Ok here is my first crack at the Americans. I'll do a British list eventually but I have some painting to do first!

Great start!
How many men (roughly) does a unit in this lists represent?
Posted 5 months ago # -
Each unit is a battalion of roughly 3 companies - i.e. pretty much standard Lasalle scale.

I'll have to take a look at it. Would it be worth it to break down the North American Theater into early war and late war? Makes a difference for the regulars I think.

That is why I did the militia and regular division. The militia division is generally early war.
However New Orleans would be a militia list so I couldn't call it early war as a result.
