AWI muster.

 As the day has been one of constant rain since 9am I took myself off into the loft room to finish off some basing and painting. Whilst watching the rain fall I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how much of my 10mm AWI I had painted and what needed doing. 

I was pleasantly surprised by how how much I have done. There are lots of bases need finishing, standards to be issued and flag edges to be painted.

I’m tempted to do a Bunker Hill game which I believe I can fit on a 4’x4’ but that does mean I need to paint some 1768 British (started).

I apologise for the photos but poor light interfered I shall do better ones soon.

First up the American ‘rebels’










These chaps really are pretty much done I had far more than I thought! However a battalion of light infantry some continentals in brown coats and a few more light guns wagons etc wouldn’t go amiss 🤣


Now onto the Kings Army










These chaps are very much outnumbered! I need to paint some more regulars both for the Southern campaign and in 1768 dress. I would also like to do Trenton this Christmas if possible! In the past I have used the rules by the Perfect Captain which I found to be excellent, I still use their army organisation charts for campaign games. However I’m quite keen to try Live Free or Die by Little Wars TV which are an adaption of Andy Callan’s loose files and American scramble. Except my one base equates to their two as they use 25mm square and I use 40mm frontage.

I’ve also decided moving forward ( bit late really) to base the regulars in 8 rather than 10 unless early or German.

Anyway that was a pleasant surprise, just need to locate what buildings I have. Fencing has been ordered from Blotz. And the printer will get warmed up for the earthworks for Bunker/Breeds Hill.

Keep safe
