Excellent as always Christopher.

What rules are you using? Just wondered as you have two different base sizes.

Thank you Ian. I primarily play Black Powder and British Grenadier for my AWI gaming, but I'm looking to try FOB2 with the period as well at one point.

I do not use different base sizes for all my units, but some I do and the reason is in Black Powder I can take all 4 bases for a regular unit, 3x 4 man bases for a small unit and one 6 man base for a tiny unit and in British Grenadier there are several units that are 18 figures per unit.

British Grenadier gives a very good simulation of the period, but plays a bit slower then Black Powder.

Okay, okay.  I'll give you that your paint jobs are excellent.  And I'll allow that you're terrain is exceptional in your AWI pics.  But, seriously, you only have a measly twenty-nine posts on the AWI and it should be five times that, really, don't you think?  Oh, sure, I bookmarked your page and all.  But it is well past time to get on with it, man.  Progress and lots of it!  How else can I still your ideas for my own.  What, you are asking what is that bulge in my cheek and whether or not it might be my tongue?  I can but answer it is a possibility - but I admit to nothing nor can you torture it out of me. 

(i have no aspiration to your level of quality work because i'm all about get them painted and into a game, adequate works.  i guess we can all agree your work is 'adequate' plus one, maybe more.)

Lovely looking unit, and photo filed away for future reference (planning on a few of these for my AWI Sharp Practice project) :)

Thank you Jeff and happy you found some useful ideas from them. Oh, I've also tucked away your Texas War of Independence material for some inspiration. :)

Amazing painting. The Perry figures are really nice and you have really done them justice.

A lovely looking regiment. I hope they live up to their promise and perform well on the table for you.
