I played another battle that was generated by my ongoing South Carolina campaign of 1780. Following the American defeat at Winnsboro, SC a small part of the American force sheered off away from the main army and headed into the back country of northwest SC. Tarleton was sent after them in pursuit and caught up with Colonel Sevier's force at McDowell's Camp. The British (with 3 strength points – SPs) destroyed the American rebels (6SPs) in the battle. Part one of the battle report is posted on my blog today. Please click on the link to visit (and click or double click each picture to enlarge). link

An absolutely outstanding report complete with exquisitely painitned figures and terrain. It is a such a pleasure to view. Other comments on your blog.
Many thanks. |

And needless to say, all of the figures are from my AWI Fife & Drum range. link The Fife & Drum rules are a free download from the F&D webstore: link Link above, but click on the "More" drop down menu and select Rules and Articles to find the PDF of the rules. The buildings and fences and many of the trees were made by Herb Gundt. The table mat was made by The Terrain Guy, unfortunately out of business. |

Beautiful table. Is the Conestoga wagon and team F&D? |
| Der Alte Fritz | 08 Jul 2017 6:31 p.m. PST |
The Conestoga wagon was scratch built by Ed Phillips. We are working on adding one to the range, but have to get the wheels made. |

Great! I like the F&D range, very nice sculpts. I've got some of the arty and 3rd Cont Light Dragoons. I think the horses are particularly nice. |

Someone needs to stop that Tarleton guy, before he changes the course of the war! |
| Winston Smith | 10 Jul 2017 6:33 a.m. PST |
He does have the most dashing uniform of the war. |

Part Two of the AAR is now posted on my blog. There will be a total of three parts to this play. link |

I do like those British Legion cavalry uniforms!!!!! |
| Winston Smith | 10 Jul 2017 12:20 p.m. PST |
Hmmm.
Looks like some lads from Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania made it into the fight.
Well, I have had North Carolina militia fighting at Saratoga, so I guess it's all right.

You have sharp eyes Winston.  |
| Winston Smith | 11 Jul 2017 6:43 a.m. PST |
Yeah. I'm THAT guy. |

There are often a lot of photos of figures posted on TMP, but I just wanted to say, nice paint jobs. |
