I've started a thread called Maple Uprising for a potential wargame that takes place in the late 1830s-early 1840s during a version of the Canadian Patriotes rebellion that turns into a full scale conflict.

Now I'm not an expert in military tactics and technology (the thread will be more an excuse to develop the visual aspect of thing like most of my other threads) so if other people who are a bit more knowledgeable of the era could give some suggestions, it would be most appreciated to flesh out the setting.

Since I have a fair bit of information about the british forces present, what I'm looking for are what type of units and weapons would be most likely to be present among the Patriotes. Since I also want the game to be interesting, I'm also open to suggestion about improvised weapons or unusual units they might used (no moose riders though) or prototypes that came out around that time that someone might realistically decide to try out on the field.

Thanks in advance to anyone.
