Paul’s AWI project

[Hertsblue]

Nice work again, Paul.

Incidentally, I've nicked your unit labels idea for my new project. I've taken it a bit further by putting clear sticky-tape over the label so it can be written on with an OHP pen. That way you can record casualties on the base and dispense with paper altogether.

You know what they say about imitation....

Superb Paul! 

WOWO (Write On, Wipe Off for non-teachers) pens are great, but careful how the smudge Hertsblue!

[Hertsblue]

Yes, I've used them for years, Will. Before Paul's innovation I used to just tag a small flap on the back of the command base.

Lovely guns Paul

It's a project like this that finally pushed me over to edge to start an AWI army myself!
Now.. I don't know wheter I should thank or hate you for that...

Thumbs up on the fantastic work you've done though!

Cheers!

I blame Clib, AndyMac & Dazza 

Does this mean Leon will give me a discount on my next order 

Nice work again, Paul.

Glad you found the label idea useful. 

For Volley & Bayonet I use small (5mm diameter) 'pom-poms' that are available at craft stores to mark casualties and status. Tan for casualties (5 tans = 1 white to reduce clutter), green for stationary, yellow for temporary disorder and red for permanent disorder. I also use the tan for suppression markers in Spearhead.

Unfortunately real life, including opponents' real lives, continue to slow my painting and gaming

First AWI Game

Due to real life of myself and others interfering with my plan to christen my AWI on 15 March, 233rd anniversary of Guilford Courthouse, and a subsequent attempt I decided to go with a solo game. A report on this game is over in the Batreps thread – http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,9765.msg115152.html

Below are some close up pictures of some of the key events.

Even better close up mate. Nice one.

Your figures show up to advantage, Paul.

Finally making some good progress on the Guard. Hopefully will be ready to base next weekend 

Second game with my AWI this evening, this time with more than one player 

[paulr]

Second game went well on Saturday night. So well in fact that we have decided to play another game next Saturday 

Gives a very different game to either of the Napoleonic sets we use (V&B, home grown 1970s with bounce sticks) and certainly feels like the AWI battles we have read about 

The group were very impressed with figures, well done Clib
