@Prim, yeah, I think a skirmishy approach to French Indian War is sensible and more what I'm tempted by, especially given the lack of plastics for the period. I don't think I could face the prospect of painting another army on the scale needed for say, BP (although my French naps are still a small force, they were and are pretty gruelling to paint).
Adapting BA seems like a decent idea, although work would be needed.
I hear muskets and tomohawks is pretty familar stuff, similar to other systems rules wise, but there are some great ideas that make it worthwhile. it does feature a nice card driven activation system, and a plethora of interesting objectives in each scenario, far beyond what we normally see on the tabletop. Minis on the northstar site for it are bloody nice too. Gah.
In other hobby activity, looked at some drop pods which I picked up when ai was in the UK with a view to making a drop pod Space Wolves army for Nagoyahammer, which I hope I can attend this time. Do people model said pods with opening doors? I expect yes because of line of sight, but its a lot more work for a lazy man.
