In the previous game when we had wounded leaders who were temporarily out of action, in lieu of any other alternative, we tipped them on their sides, something I think spoils the look of the table. I made sabot bases to mark the individual leaders so I know which activation card they relate to and that system works well, so I thought I could come up with a variation of the same to show wounds..



Using the same type of single sabot base, I made up some bloodied bandages using tissue paper soaked in diluted PVA and then added a spare hat and sword from a Perry sprue. Much happier with these, which will serve their function and look much better on the table.

The bloodied bandage, hat and sword! Ingenious and inspiring!  :-*

Very clever indeed. Consider the idea appropriated.  :)

The campaign rolls on and we reach the third scenario. Honours may be even with a victory apiece, but the rebels have taking many more casualties than the British. Will they be crushed by a superior force or find a way to hold off the redcoats?

Great report (with the new terrain visible in the lovely photos) and fine work on the wounded markers.
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?

After the surprising rebel victory in the last game the British are looking for revenge. They are out to rescue a loyalist prisoner and in the process seek a scenario victory that keeps their hopes of a campaign victory alive. They have the better force but that hasn't always played in their favour. The full AAR is here:

Alrighty then.  Well done.  All tied up going into the fifth.  That one, it appears, is for all the marbles!  Looking forward to that battle report.

The final instalment in the campaign set around New York in 1776 using Sharp Practice. The more we use these rules the more we make better use of them and the more I like them. Some lovely drill book musketry from Dave's British in this one, pity I was on the receiving end! It's a shame to see the campaign come to an end, hopefully we'll be able to get back to some more in 2022.

Again, a fabulous looking game!
Regarding the campaign, did you make that yourselves, or is it from some Lardie Special?

Thanks. It’s a home grown campaign, our first attempt. We will review it and make a few tweaks and see if the Lardies are interested in using it in the Lard Magazine next year.

A joy to read, although I was cheering for the Americans. Great looking games throughout the campaign that sound like a lot of fun.

Well done, lad! 

It does appear the Rebel forces started out on their back foot, and could never really get things going.  Oh well, there's always more battles to fight... :D
