I sorted the troops and removed the temporary labels from Cowpens while I had the figures out for my marathon photo shoot for the competition

I've also "tightened" the background, I limit myself to one page so people will actually read it

Printed it all so I can proof read it

Looks like there might be a couple of extra players interested in taking part

Proofed the scenario, nearly ready to share with Pierre the Shy as a fresh set of eyes

Four weeks to go

Good feedback from Pierre the Shy so all ready to go for Easter weekend

Just need to print off the various bits and pieces and cut out the one remaining hill

Everything printed out and sorted for the Guilford Courthouse game

Just got the last hill to cut out and then ready for Easter

Really looking forward to this.....Cornwallis and Co will need to be at the top of their game to win this one.

Unless someone wishes to run a particular side or command we normally dice to see who gets what, so you could end up running anything from a Militia Brigade to the Brigade of Guards 
 



 

Dicing for who you will command encourages us to makes certain the scenarios are as balanced as possible 

I have cut out the last hill so now all ready for Friday

I just need to make sure I pack everything but fortunately the venue is close to home

Famous last words

We got to the venue, a local school hall, just after the main organiser had unlocked the hall. Set up went well and we diced to see who would command which side; Pierre the Shy (Peter) got to be Cornwallis

As he started setting up the British I realised I had forgotten the smoke markers we use to show units firing

As I quickly nipped home Peter kindly set up the Americans for me so very little time was lost

The game played really well and was more balanced than Peter thought as he looked at the three lines of massed Americans, I'll leave the result for the battle report

I was expecting to play the battle twice over the three days but we came to a conclusion by mid afternoon It will be interesting to see how it plays today with me as Cornwallis and Peter and Roy taking the Americans

Lots of positive comments about the terrain and figures

One guy who is visiting from Auckland is now muttering about us under his breath, seeing the figures has convinced him to take the plunge and buy some Pendraken Napoleonic armies

Excellent

Another interesting game with things playing out quite differently, we again finished by mid-afternoon, the result will have to wait for the battle report

More positive comments about the terrain and troops including from some of the guys who had arrived for the 25mm DBMM competition

Probably the best quote was

QuoteI had thought of 10mm as a compromise scale but they have the detail of 15mm and the mass effect of 6mm

Having played the refight twice and with both my opponents low on Brownie points we will not be playing again tomorrow

Someone still hasn't got the after action reports done yet 

Someone has finally made a start on the after action reports http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,14025.0.html

Just the starting positions so far, reports of the actual games to follow

And damn fine it looks, too, Paul !

Cheers - Phil

While waiting for Pierre the Shy and my next order I've decided to finish of some terrain for this AWI project

Buildings assembled

Hedges and haystacks under coated black

A few minor bubbles puttied on the buildings

Hedges and haystacks heavily dry brushed dark green and dark brown respectively

Putty on buildings tidied up
I need to get some more black undercoat and some suitable weather for spraying

Hedges and haystacks moderately dry brushed mid green and middle stone respectively
