My AWI (250th anniversary game After Action Report link on page 3)

Now there's some scientific evidence, not unlike that often seen in TV ads.

AAR awaiting photos which is awaiting restoring Blogger password which is now taking much longer than in recent past. 

However, I can now state I have 50 painted AWI battalions of infantry with 41 table ready and 9 just needing bases textured (all French) and then 4 more French units partially completed.  I also counted up and have 20 guns with crews and 17 leaders table ready with 4 more French leaders in the partial complete stage.  Next up are both additional units for Bunker Hill and a whole bunch of cavalry regiments to add to the four long painted cavalry. 

Possible I will get delivered today enough figures to add 4 more units of rifles for continental side of the affair.  Yes, yes, I know, not that common but sometimes the games will just be fun battles rather than historical events and I need to balance all those jaeger units with rifles.  Last metal figures - for any period - I expect to order (unless someone goes nuts on 15 mm pulp figures).

Those 50 table ready battalions: 13 militia, 4 extra continentals, 4 Spanish, 9 French, 4 red coated Loyalists, 4 green coated Loyalists, 8 British regulars, 4 German.

Well that's a safe bet, considering that we were all British at the time!

Looking good!

Finally got access to my blog so I can post some pre-game set-up photos but will need more time to finalize the AAR.



Our 5' x 12' playing surface showing Lexington at the top right, Lincoln near the bottom, and Concord at the top left, nearly or a little over 24' of Battle Road.  And, eventually, there were 60 roofed structures on the table.



Lexington Green



Lincoln



Concord



The North Bridge.  Yes, I know, it should be a wooden bridge but I wanted this, my most imposing bridge, to be the site of the action.

Much more to come but too late tonight.

A teaser shot from my rather long - and too many pre-game photos before the action photos - for the AAR:

Hope you enjoy it.  Took a lot of effort to get onto the table but, for me, was worth it on the day.  Now to get ready for Bunker Hill in June!

A quick note and a BIG thank you to LAF's own kingsmt for the flags used.  Which I was speedily gluing on in the last half hour before people were set to arrive!  I only just finished texturing the last of the figures the night before just ahead of midnight.  Oh, what we do to run our games. 

Again, worth it for this one.  Getting to redo such a significant historical battle on such a significant anniversary was super cool for me.

Checking on what I need to paint for Bunker Hill, some British generals and guns and five foot units.  But...

Oh, bother.   Seems I need to compromise and use a yellow faced British foot unit as a white faced unit for Bunker Hill.  I have my regular units assigned to five historical brigades but am short one white faced unit in the mix! 

Well, maybe I can find a Loyalist unit in red coats with white facings...? 

Hmm, stay tuned, off to check resources.

...and, nope, don't find a white faced, red coated Loyalist unit.  So pale yellow it shall be.

A great looking game 

I appreciate you've got a huge array of buildings, but what companies would you recommend for buildings suitable for 15mm AWI?
