AWI Guilford Courthouse Project

[goat major]

Yes I was thinking of using that one for Greene's command stand

Well I've emerged from my deep freeze and my Guildford Courthouse project is finally back on again. First I had to do an audit of the figures and tonight I've undercoated those that will make up the balance of The 2nd Maryland Regt. Sorting out the makeup , nomenclature and uniforms of the Continental Regts at GC is a bit of a nightmare, I suspect no one knows the right answer..










So this is now the painting project at the top of the queue. Other than a brief planned diversion to do some Undead in March I will finish all my forces to do GC at 1:10 in the next couple of months. Currently outstanding are

2nd Virginia (or 5th depending on who you believe)
Balance of 1st Maryland and 2nd Maryland
Lee's horse
Top-ups for 33rd, 23rd and van Bose to convert them from 1:20 to 1:10
British Legion cavalry
RA 6 pdr
British Guards in proper uniform to replace the 1768 warrant figures I've currently got painted
,
At least I've got all the militia done .....

I was thinking of throwing an entry into the painting competition before the real artists come along. Looks like I'm too late ...

(Great paint job)

Great to see you have got back to this

I went for the 5^th Virginia in the end, but there is a strong case for either number

Cheers all !

Yes it's a minefield. Most accounts just say 4th and 5th VA. The British Grenadier scenario says 1st and 5th. Babits (who I normally trust) says that is the 1st and 2nd and that other references to 4/5 are erroneous though frustratingly he doesn't give his source. The GC national park service say  1st and 2nd but that they are state line troops not continentals !  Not that any of it matters but of course but even so , I think all troop deployments in war zones really need to consider the needs of future Wargamers.

Wow, really stunning! Compliments!
