How do you like my Trenton 1776 game?

[Pijlie]

I have been wanting to play Trenton for a long time and after quite a while of painting and building the hardware was ready and I was left with the challenge to write an interesting game scenario for this extremely lop-sided battle.

Because, whether you believe the Hessians to have been sober and vigiliant on Christmas morning 1776 or stumbling drunk and hung-over, fact remains that Washington's army not only surprised them but outnumbered them about 4 to 1 as well. In reality, as soon as Rall decided to stand and fight to reclaim his lost cannon, his fate was sealed.

So I had to come up with something more interesting.

A difficult choice, but the what-ifs make it interesting. Then again, I'm a sucker for a snow table.

love this table and scenario, washingtons crossing of the deleware was a truly fantastic feat and so many things
could have gone wrong so a great what if scenario

Very atmospheric...the smoke coming out of the chimneys really adds to the cold and bitter landscape for North America in the 1770s. It really looks like you have stepped back in time.

Great terrain, figures and set up. Thanks for sharing.

Nice game table.

You probably know but there is a film about it called "The crossing" with Jeff Daniels as Washington.
Lots of ideas.

Very nicely done Fantastic looking game 

Think the Hessian would definitely Have Big Hang overs  as they would of celebrated xmas on the 24th like most germans do and the British royal family still do ! Its not a done thing to attack a chap on xmas day in those days !

Happy gaming LR
