AWI Hit List 2011

[General Bt Sherman]

The list seems pretty good to me. I need to check my Uniform books and see if anything important is missing. Has there been any talk about doing personalities (ex. Washington)?

[DaveH]

Looks like we could have nearly everything by year end then.

Surely civilians/farmhands could be generic for 18th Century - same with wagons/limber horses?

[Dazza]

Clib ?

any news on :

Queens Rangers Command
&
Mounted ( which will please IanS    )


Hopefully not too far away, would love the QR command as that will finish off the unit.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Nothin plezes moi. 

MORE TANKS - POST WAR TANKS 

[17-21l]

Not a great historian on the AWI but the British light Dragoon Regt's were mounted. The 16th were sent back to England and left what horses they had left to the 17th LDs who had recently deployed to the colonies. The Regimental journal mentions that quite a few 16th dragoons were left to bolster up the 17th. Im an ex 17/21L and Queens Royal Lancer (man and boy) and both Regiments (16th & 17th Lancers) now form QRL. Hope this helps, like I said im no historian .. but can remember reading it, so the horse holders would/could be a go-er. 
Anycase where's the new Napoleonic British 

[goat major]

I think you are right but i was under the impression that as a result the dragoons were either deployed in theatre unhorsed (in which case they fought as infantry) or they had horses. If they had horses they tended to fight as cavalry. I'm not sure we ever saw them dismounting on the battlefield  in classic dragoon style. I'm not reallly an expert though so would be interested in any evidence one way or the other

[17-21l]

I would imagine that they would fight mounted in a battle situation and dismounted whilst skirmishing/patroling, they were mounted at Brandywine. hope this helps (probably not) 

[clibinarium]

The touchstone for me is how they were used in battle.  I'm less interested in the petite guerre than in field actions, and I've not come across accounts where they dismount to fight, rather they act as light cavalry (apart from those companies who were dismounted and without horses). So there'll be no dismounted duplication of mounted troops except where they had permanently dismounted contingents. There's just too many different uniform variations to do them all again on foot.

[Dazza]

So, any news on horses and Queens Rangers Command ?

[Dazza]

Clib, if you read this can you give us some information on the following :

1. Queens Rangers Command ?
2. American Dragoons ?
3. Tarleton Legion (Mounted and foot)
4. any other bits ur adding


Many thanks from all of us (except Ian:P )

[Dazza]

Any additions likely to be soonish, in the AWI range ?

[Leon]

Nothing in the next few months which I'm aware of, the latest batch from Clib was the LoA stuff shown in the other thread.

Tarlletons and Continental Dragoons are definitely needed, if only to annoy Ian
