Thanks!  I frankly don't remember if we've played Rank & File.  We've played the AWI with several rulesets.  I'll have to peruse my rules shelves...

As for the historicity of our games, you'll find a few historical battles.  But, as you pointed out, you'll also find several fictional battles or battles adapted from other eras...hope you enjoy your time going through my thread when you get to it.

I've noticed that some of my older units need some touching up, and I could do with a few more units (Hessians, Continentals, British dragoons, and the list goes on...),  Who knows - maybe some day.

Impressive doesn't begin to describe your collection or these battle pics! Gorgeous! Brilliant looking game! WOW!

Thanks!  I appreciate that.

At HMGS-GL's flagship convention, Advance the Colors, 11-12 October, I will be helping Larry Reber (publisher of Saratoga Soldiers, the AWI variant of his ACW rules Gettysburg Soldiers) run a pair of games based on the actions around lexington and Concord in April 1775.  On Friday evening, Larry will take the lead in running the British march through Lexington and into and around Concord.  On Saturday morning, I will take the lead in running the British retreat from Concord through when the British meet up with their relefie column near Lexington.  We will be using my 20mm AWI troops, and will (of course) be using Larry's Saratoga Soldiers rules.

My regular gaming group will be doing a playtest of the game I am taking the lead on at our regular weekly game on 12 September.  Mind you, I will post an AAR here after the playtest.  Stay tuned, should this be on any interest to you...
