The locals soon here news of the British defeat.

All the figures used are from my collections of SYW by Foundry. The terrain and scenery were all provided by Wargames Foundry for the day. Rules used were the Crusader Publishing 'Rank & File'. Many thanks to Matt, Bernard, Ronnie, Keith and Kevin for their hospitality.

I saw these yesterday and your game looked absolutely beautiful. The photos don't do your miniatures justice, yankeepedlar.

That's very kind, Adam. I do admit, I'm no photographer.

Very Impressive collection. I likey

[Gluteus Maximus]

Not really my period, but it's a fantastic display of wargaming goodness 

Painting all that braiding on the British coats would have driven me to drink 

[Calimero]

Nice painting, quite a collection too!

It look like a fun game. How well did the Rank & File rules play?

They do what it says on the tin ~ fast, fierce, get a result, some nice period feel to them.

I thought there would be more of them

I was going to pop along to Foundry yesterday but I had to go to an interview instead

[Orctrader]

They look very impressive.   

[JollyBob]

Lovely job. They look great ranked up like that.  I agree with GM too, don't know how people can stand to do all that braiding. You're a better man that I.

Loopy? Moi?
Driven to drink? Hardly.
Just enjoy painting a lot, helped disipate the stress I found when I was teaching and now I'm retired its just good fun, painting whenever the mood takes me.
