Thanks Mark

Right on both accounts too,we used the Take the High Ground scenario from the rulebook basically a frontal assualt!
Game would probably have benefitted from a few tweaks if I'm honest!

Cheers

"Funny, I was proud of 'em. Even while I was killing 'em, I was proud of 'em. It speaks well for men that so many ain't afraid to die when they think right is on their side. It speaks well. ".
Taster for tonight's game of Rebels and Patriots, Osprey's recent rules.

Splendid stuff Keith.

But what happened to Crockett?

Do you mind if I pinch those photos and pop them on the Boot Hill website?

The gentlemen from the illustrious State of Tennessee were the first unit to fall I'm afraid

Of course you can use the photos Nick

Thanks for commenting

Always good to see your figures and such a nice reduced-scale Alamo.

'Hey up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below,
so the rest of Texas will know.....
And remember the Alamo.
Looking forward to picking up a set of the rules at Hammerhead,
then on to painting my pile of (excellent) Boothill miniatures.

Great looking game.
Lovely figures.
A mini Alamo, very cool.

Had a great time playing this game, our third outing with Rebels and Patriots and we haven't had a bad game yet!
I was Travis, so it didn't turn out well for me. If I played it again I would defend with six figure Line infantry units rather than skirmish units as in these rules skirmishers fight with 6 dice instead of 12.
The ground around the fort is open but the attackers are across it quite quickly so shooting doesn't really come into it.
My thanks to Romark for hosting a cracking game, I took some photos on my phone so here they are
