Thought a Florida scenario might do us some good during this nasty winter in the States. I ran a 15mm Sharp Practice game that was based on the Battle of Wahoo Swamp on November 21, 1836. link to flickr set: link ‌The 3rd groups of Creeks by mhluther, on Flickr ‌Cochee-emathla firing at the Tennesseans by mhluther, on Flickr ‌Regulars arrive by mhluther, on Flickr ‌Another shot of the shooting by mhluther, on Flickr ‌Bend in the River by mhluther, on Flickr I had 2 new players, including one who had never played a historical game before. He had a pretty hodge podge force to command and did a fine job. So no one should ever think TFL rules are too complicated for newbies. They both enjoyed it and are looking forward to more. Mark

As someone making my own set of swamp terrain right now, I'm daunted. Also inspired, but mostly daunted. That looks like a great game.

Great looking game! Are those FrieKorps 15 figures?

I like it!
Microbiggie	07 Mar 2015 7:02 a.m. PST
Several minis are from the Friekorps line-I believe they are the only ones who make 15mm 2SW figures. But I've converted quite a few over the years. Thanks. Mark

Very inspirational. Great job!

Impressive set up. How did you make the palmetto trees?
Microbiggie	08 Mar 2015 8:46 a.m. PST
The palmetto trees are from a Chinese ebay dealer-can't remember who. The scrub is re-purposed plastic aquarium plants cut up and glued to a base.

As always, Mark your terrain is impressive. I would swear I have hiked through that area! Rick

Nice looking Florida, they used to have big snakes in FL, 12 rattlers once upon a time were common. Nice scenario.

Its an amazing landscape and a wonderful inspiration for gaming in this period.

I ran a 2SW game at our GigaHistorical Day event last month. I used the SP v2 rules and it went well. We had several new players Here is a teaser: ‌Second Seminole War SP 2 game by Mark Luther, on Flickr ‌Regulars across the river by Mark Luther, on Flickr Mark

Clinch's Battle of the Withlacoochee. Nice!

That was just too cool. I love your terrain. I might do it in 25mm to match the figures/terrain I already have. But that was really sweet to see. Eric
