There will. We'll be sure to ask.

AWI?      not sure of that one

Ah I know what you mean - Its the American revolution against the rightful government of North America

You both make valid points. I was a RevWar re-enactor in the 70's and 80's BUT a member of a Loyalist unit. We had a different perspective on things and were tasked with explaining that POV to the crowds (who often viewed us as Quislings and Imperial Storm Troopers). It is not a startling revelation that the AWI was in some ways our FIRST Civil War, particularly in the South.

Welcome SgtShepard 

I look forward to seeing your progress

I'm particularly interested in the Southern Campaign and use Volley & Bayonet in Wing scale
Earlier this year we completed our 235^th anniversarys with Guilford Courthouse http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,14025.0.html

Orcs, I believe it is a "War of Indepedance" if you win and a "revolt" if you lose

Na - its just revolting

Must admit it loses out to the SYW for me - C18th battlefields with hardly any cavalry - don't think so.

You are very welcome Sgt Shepard.  After a while we Pendraken Vets have dropped the "handles " and use our personals .

WW2 and Post War is my "bag" .  You will see my present drama on another thread concerning the Foxbat. ( The Pendraken WW2 naval gunner survived his operation and is recovering as Valentine Zukovsky the first 1/150 modern pilot figure- images will follow when I get him painted up).

We have a great mix of talent, knowhow and wit on the forum. A lot of knowledge.  Do make the acquaintance of Grumpy Old Man aka Vic, from Oz.  He is the Internet scrounger unsurpassed if you need to find something.

I have never played ACW, but during my lecturing career was scholar in residence Stateside , and made a point of visiting quite a few of the battlefields.

Enjoy the forum

Dude - there are various groups of Native Americans ( on both sides) which adds a dimension that is more interesting than fancy horse guys.
Besides they are much like Aztecs (but with weapons with WAY better flint technology!) 

Grenzers anyone? Hawkeye and Rogers Rangers. Clive and elephants as well as hussars, dragoons, cuirassiers, carabineers, horse grenadiers. Get those birch bark canoes down the Hudson this instant!

Hi SgtShepard, welcome to the Forum!

Hello SgtShepard

Welcome to the forum, lots of great information available here and lots of off-topic rubbish as well. The trick is sifting one from the other.

As a welcome here is a paper model of the Green Dragon Tavern from here http://www.delta7studios.com/green%20dragon.htm



Direct pdf link is http://www.delta7studios.com/images/Green%20Dragon.pdf

It is at 1/120 scale but if you print it out at 80% it will come down to 1/150

A 1/300 sloop that served at Lake Champlain is here http://www.warartisan.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/000kit.20451007.zip

Cheers

Depends what flavour they are, Mark !

I can remember eating 'sweetmeats' covered in breadcrumbs when I was very small...and thinking they were absolutely delicious.
It was decades later before I found out they were 'ram lambs' testicles.

Apparently sheep's brains, were another 'delicacy' I would eat when I was very little......Those I can't remember at all. (Thank goodness !)
