The 10mm world of AWI

Right

I had some pendraken 10mm American War of Indepedance figures so I thought Id try them out, much to my suprise they are as good as some 15mm's Ive seen! So with a knee operation coming up and 8 weeks recuperation Ive thought Id have a go at painting up the battle of Guilford court house. Here are my first efforts. Comments always welcome

15mm Castle

A member of TMP was asking about black cats 15mm castle range, which got me thinking about the same set, I recently bought at Salute. Ive dusted it off and gave it a grey base coat, just need to work out how im going to set it up now. I think I'll make a couple of bases, one for the full castle and one for a long single wall with turrets. Anyhow, heres what you get in the large castle set
Short walls and corners, the non painted stuff is stairs and collapsed walls.


Turrets and long walls


Additional stuff - curved tower



I also received wedges with the set. They are walled and fill in the gaps between curved tower and straight walls, all very nice

Back to napoleonics again......

As a break from ancients, I found some nice AB pics on the web, thought Id have a go myself. Ive plenty of brits and portuguse, so heres a few testers for my highlanders. Let me know what you think

Big big fog.....

under contruction








On Saturday, I played my first large scale battle and only my 2nd game of FOG. It was all down to a fellow clubmate, Ray who organised, fed and provided the venue, so many,many thanks to him for doing such a great job.


Full forces



The game started with a massive pike line along for the macs and cav on either wing. The Romans supried us with a cavaly in the centre with legionaires etc on the wings and to the right of centre.



Two centres and two wings were each controlled by one player, I took one of the macs centre lines, containing mostly pike, skirmishes and two elephants.
