A boat load of Revenue Cutter Service ratings leave the safety of their frontier post in search of Osceola in the swamps of Florida.  The gang had our first play test game this past weekend.  Rules were quick, bloody (for the Army) and in need of a bit of tweaking.  However, we were able to get two full games in, during a 5.5 hour period.  The first was a win for the Seminoles.  The second game a victory for the US forces.

The ominous "finger of fate" flies above the departure.

Just as feet touch dry land, Seminoles make their presence known with a ambushing volley.

This makes me want to do the Seminole War
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Indeed. But un-usual? It was again a war in which both sides were responsible for war crimes. But at that time nobody was thinking along those lines. ;-)

In the background, you can see a US Army unit trying to outflank the Seminoles ambushing the Cutter Service troops.  Unfortunately, the difficult terrain made it impossible.

With no help coming, the Cutter Service takes heavy casualties (including their civilian guide) from the first (of many) ambushes in game one.

Great stuff!
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Tried to get Warlord to make some early war army to go with the 20 Seminoles they have but they didn't think they would be  popular enough.They took over the Seminoles when they acquired the Conquest line but wouldn't you want some opponents for them.I guess they didn't. I've abandoned my project.

Marco, I'm using New Orleans Greys and US deserters from Boot Hill miniatures to pair with Warlord's Seminole figures in 28mm. Now I'm trying to figure out where to go for artillery and crews.
