Something a bit different and a preview of upcoming Sharp Practice book.   Chris Stoesen has a book coming out that has some really interesting scenarios for this mid 18th century war between the Spanish and British in the Americas.  I've been waiting to get some of these toys on the table for a while now. The fights on the east coast of Georgia were small but had a nifty variety of unit types and the setting was certainly a wild one.  I decided to play the Battle of Gully Hole Creek to start.  John had the defending Crown forces and I took the invading Spanish.  Cool mixture of uniformed militia, Scots, colonial rangers, red coated regulars and native Americans.  And the fights were in some pretty messy terrain.

Absolutely beautiful table and interesting focus, I’ve only just started with SP2 and this looks great. I shall await the book with excitement. I’m going to go and read up on the conflict and see if any of my 15mm AWI will work at a stretch. Thank you for posting.
