I checked out your blog to see more photos. Your terrain is most impressive ! Well done.

But where are the soldiers?

Great looking terrain.
I actually walked the battlefield back in 1991.
A very small field, only about 3 quarters of a mile squared.
Well done.

Great looking battlefield Captain!

Makes me want to break into a little Johnny Horton...

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico...

Your Union Flag is back to front

Thanks a lot guy's

Troops are coming soon....

Meanwhile we built more barricades and more trap.....

In fact I've just to paint général and staff....

[Captain Canada]

in 1812 we were just sitting around
minding our own business
putting crops into the ground
We heard the Yankees coming
and we didn't like that sound
So we took a boat to Washington
and burned ti to the ground/

Cracking set up, but the Union Flag is still upside down

Nice set-up, but I'm intrigued as to why so many gamers go to enormous effort to reproduce such a one-sided engagement (unless you let the British bring their ladders with them, and even then.....), whereas nobody ever games "the other assault" on the opposite bank of the river.  The latter is much more interesting and less straightforward tactically, offers both sides a chance of winning, and - if properly supported/followed up on the British side - can influence the main assault.

Look at the following photo....

We played both side of the attacK....
