AWI Guilford Courthouse Project

[nikharwood]

You're welcome buddy - they're very nice & give a great game [although I've only played with counters so far...need to correct that at some point...]

Somewhere I've got notes of exactly what figures I'd buy in order to be able to game every scenario in the "Two for Tea" stable...if anyone's interested I could probably find them....

Oh - and I am so not going to ask what you were trying to type 

[Blaker]

Yes that would be very helpful indeed 

[DFlynSqrl]

Looking good!

[nikharwood]

Yes that would be very helpful indeed 

Blake - apologies, this one slipped my mind; I've got a day off tomorrow so I'll try to dig them out...some of the codes I used were workarounds though which can be updated now the AWI range is so much more complete

I missed this thread completely first time around
Just to say what damn fine work GM's done  ....And hopefully help Mike (Rougue) find the links he's after.
Cheers - Phil.

Blimey it's a long time since I updated this thread. Somehow in the years I have been pottering away at this project I have changed from doing the battle at 1:10 instead of 1:20. I did a tally up last night and unsurprisingly there's a Pendraken order being put together today....

Okay so here's the American artillery. Captains Singleton and Finley ready to give those British a taste of American iron!

Fantastic looking minis. Where are the trees from? They also look terrific.

[goat major]

Re the trees - I made them myself DP - twisted wire and railway clump foliage. A bit time consuming but strangely therapeutic !

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice Goat Major!

[Steve J]

Nice to have an update. I'm making plans for using my AWI minis for soem ImagiNations gaming at present, so nice to see some artillery painted up

[Leman]

Thanks for the info. that looks like a project that has really taken off.

[Techno]

Those look terrific GM !
Cheers - Phil

Excellent, GM. Does your change of figure-scale mean you have to double the size of your units?

[goat major]

Not exactly. I started using the scenario in the original British Grenadier rulebook. Since then they updated it and re-scaled it at 1:10 (in their Scenario Book 3). But more significantly than the ratio change was the building in of new research - primarily from the Babits & Howard book*. So some units are just slightly bigger but the Americans in particular have many more militia units and generally a fuller OOB than the original scenario.

Oh and just to make life difficult for me, since I started doing this, Clib sculpted the correct figures for the Brigade of Guards so now I have do re-do my originals 

* Long, Obstinate & Bloody by Babits & Howard is an absolute must-have for AWI fans. Fantastically well researched and full of essential info for the wargamer.

Very nice artillery

Good to see you are still making progress  Will they be ready for the 235^th anniversary next year No pressure 

Once I have finished Peter's 1914 ITLSU I need to get back to my AWI, 2 Brigades of Milita and Washington's Legion left till I have enough for Guilford Courthouse
