I've been waiting for this for a few years now, perhaps its time to go back fill in some of the gaps in the AWI range.

Looks shiny! For those not so keen on BP can I recommend Peter Pigs' "'Washington's Army" rules? They seem to give a nice period feel, though I must admit it's not really my period :D

Anyone living in the USA is crazy not to move to NY.

Yup, but this move was from Aylesbury, Bucks, UK!

But there is only one wargames club although it is a good one: Metropolitan Wargamers in Brooklyn..

Some of us are looking at AWI using Adler 6+2mm. I did try to persuade them to use Pendraken but the others like idea of a 1:1 figure scale (because of the small unit sizes). However that will involve painting a lot of militia, as this was the majority of any American army (until it ran away).

Thanks for the 'heads up' Clib :). I'll have a look at this on Amazon/Speedy Hen later.

Can's speak for Aylesbury; never been there. But NYC is a great place.

It really doesn't compare to Aylesbury though. I mean Aylesbury's got, err, some roundabouts?

When confronted with the complex protocol for driving at intersections in the US (which everyone in NYC ignores anyway) you realise what a work of genius the roundabout is.

Getting back on topic: dismounted light dragoons (both ours and theirs), Lees Legion and French artillery would be nice.
