We celebrated the holiday season in style at the Rat Palace Redux in Red Oak, Texas by playing a 54mm Battle of Trenton. We used All the King's Men rules and adapted scenarios from Alte Fritz and Pijlie. Here's a link to a fuller AAR and small gallery. For DFW lurkers, you shoulda' been here! Great game, Great friends!

I wish very much I could have been there. It looks like a great game in every way, with figures and terrain looking as gorgeous as usual--of course, it's hard to go wrong with snow and Hessians in pointy hats. A trained eye might also detect the presence of some rather tasty looking beverages scattered recklessly about the battlefield and local "countryside", and that is a good sign as well. We've had some great shots of games in the Big Scale lately and could get quite spoiled if it continues. Thank you for sharing! |

Awesome work, Steve! You're a great ambassador for the One True Scale. |

Thank you of the very timely share. Looking to play this on 26 Dec using 28mm and Black Powder rules. |

I did Trenton a long time ago with 80 figure 28mm Hessian battalions, each individually based on washers, with 4 companies each.
That was back in my megalomania days. 
Rules were an unholy mashup of several others plus my own idiotic artillery rules.
People said they had a great time but I was not pleased. Learned many lessons.
Patriots won. Since then I sold off half of the Hessians, rebasing the rest to my own idiosyncratic system. Now I am getting back into washer basing, but left these alone. |
