KM - 'General Winter fighting alongside Canada'

The Battle of Quebec in 1775, in which American soldiers and the Canadian regiment they'd raised attempted to take on the larger and much more warmly dressed Canadian militia and British regulars during a snowstorm. Undeterred by the subsequent massacre, they then tried to siege the town while a General Winter and Smallpox tagteam made its rounds through the camps. Yep, that probably wasn't a good idea.

Headcanon says Canada would be physically around 13-14 at the time. He's wearing a mix between the Quebec militia uniform, the regular's cap and torque, and a makeshift cloak many of the really ill-equipped American fighters (and their Canadian supporters) had to resort to wearing. Talk about conflicted.

It made no sense for General Winter to wear a Russian uniform that won't exist for another half a century or so, so he gets a British grenadier's uniform. You do not screw with someone wearing a foot-tall bearskin cap.

EDIT: The process steps can now be found here for the curious.
