I've posted a battle report of a game some us played on Sunday.
link The British (@3,500 men)have 3 brigades, plus a reserve, 3x3pdr guns and a cavalry detachment. The Americans (@5,000 men) have 4 brigades, plus 2x6pdr guns and a cavalry detachment.
Figures and terrain are my own (except the dead ones and some animals) and are a mix of Perry, Foundry, Eureka & Kings Mountain. Cheers,

Looks great…now that the Perry Plastics are out I am seriously comtemplating this period…… |

Thanks for the comments. The rules are a modified free set called Sons of Liberty: Redux. An easy, period specific set that allows for a lot of action and gives an attractive, flowing visual game as well. They need a few more tweaks but work well enough. Field Marshal – yeah, once the Militia and Continental Perry plastic sets are out they will be a great entry point for 28mm AWI. With Fife & Drum, Perry, Foundry, 2nd edition Old Glory and Eureka the metal enthusiast is already well served. The Eureka dragoons deserve a lot more attention. |

Great stuff! Those guns are awfully close -did they tear great holes in the American ranks? |

Inspiring stuff lovely figures and terrain, thanks for sharing! |

Thanks again. @NY Irish – The grasshopper guns did get in the faces of the Americans but the British dice rolling wasn't great when it came to shooting… |

Beautiful game, photos and battle reports like this keep me pushing forward with my AWI project.
Thank you |
