As soon as I get figures painted… And in no particular order. Gloucester Point. All those 28mm Hussars! Chelsea Creek. Just the finishing touches on some green coat red facings figures who up to this point thought they were Loyalists. Hey! We're the 1st New Hampshire! A few sailors and boats. Oh, Marines. Lord Dunmore's Ethiopians burn down Mr Randolph's cotton plantation. Spencer's Ordinary. That's a lot of Queen's Rangers. Kings Mountain. Hah. I thought I had enough militia. Hah! 2nd Trenton, or Assunpink. |

I've done Gloucester Point and Spencer's Ordinary. Fun games, but Gloucester Point can end fast if one side's horsemen, or the other's, rout on a bad dice roll. |

Chew House at Germantown. I'm working on the house now. |
Rich Bliss | 16 Nov 2018 4:41 p.m. PST |
Saratoga first. When that's done, I'll take a look at Brandywine. |
Spooner6 | 16 Nov 2018 5:13 p.m. PST |
My list would look a lot like 22ndFoot. I would add Lexington/Concord and Bunker Hill to that list. Not that they are great battles, but rather ones that I feel I should do at some point. Chris |

Blackstock's Plantation is on the to-do list for Enfilade 2019. |

Done most of the larger battles and a few of the smaller Bradywine – the full area with some fog of war is the next one on the list to do in 15mm |

The what-if it hadn't rained on the day Battle of the Clouds scenario from the October 2006 issue of Miniature Wargames. The scenario is set in September 1777 and just a few days after Brandywine with Washington and Howe again clashing. Historically following some initial encounters and skirmishes ahead of the main event, rain had started to pour down soaking not only the troops but also their powder. Low clouds combined with the driving rain obscured the field allowing Washington to retreat, keeping his supply line protected. But Philadelphia was open to the British. The scenario looks at what might have happened if the rain held off all day or it can also be played with the arrival of the rain being diced for each turn. Ezza |

I need to paint up Volunteers of Ireland for some Southern battles. |
Pan Marek | 18 Nov 2018 9:56 a.m. PST |
I game alot of M&T games, so I'm looking to do Meig's Raid. I need more boats to burn in the harbor, and am still looking for a ways to balance the game so the Brits have a chance. The actual raid was a complete walkover for the Patriots. Thoughts? Hint, hint… |
Yellow Admiral | 18 Nov 2018 1:14 p.m. PST |
I mean to game Saratoga and Monmouth someday. Not to belabor a common point, but I need to paint a lot of miniatures for those. After I did a scaled back version of the Battle of White Marsh (a "what if" to prove that Howe was right not to engage), I decided it would be fun to recreate the entire Philadelphia campaign as a set of linked scenarios – including Brandywine, Germantown, the Battle Above the Clouds, maybe a few other what-if and almost-happened, etc. I've also thought to apply this approach to other small campaigns. The brief campaign for New York is delightfully self-contained already, and I am fascinated by the idea of depicting the countryside that now lies under one of the world's most famous megacities. I think a lot of the mini-campaigns in the South would work nicely as serial encounters too. - Ix |

Wyoming Massacre. Springfield. Foraging War post Trenton/Princeton Eric |
Winston Smith | 18 Nov 2018 7:38 p.m. PST |
We've done Springfield. And of course the Wyoming Massacre. As for the Foraging War, as soon as I get off my lazy butt and finish the Associators, and the horde of militia cavalry, it's up there. My main problem is the all too familiar "Oooh! Shiny!" Syndrome. |

"Lord Dunmore's Ethiopians burn down Mr Randolph's cotton plantation." Oh! This gives me too many ideas for a scenario! |
Old Contemptibles | 19 Nov 2018 11:04 a.m. PST |
Up above I said all of them. In more detail; I am also going to redo the Southern and Saratoga Campaigns. Well, I am going to start over in order from Lexington right thru Yorktown and a couple of hypotheticals and/or what ifs thrown in. Here are the major battles I still need to do. But there are a whole host of smaller battles I will also do. Germantown Brandywine Monmouth Spencer's Ordinary King's Mountain Yorktown |
Virginia Tory | 23 Nov 2018 8:02 p.m. PST |
I always wonder how you'd do King's Mountain. A butt-ton of skirmishers v. the Loyalists. |
Normal Guy | 23 Nov 2018 10:43 p.m. PST |
I don't discriminate, but the bulk of my AWI time is spent on the Southern Theatre. Fascinating part of the way that is overlooked by too many. |
Old Contemptibles | 26 Nov 2018 3:21 p.m. PST |
I started out with the Southern Campaign. I don't think it is overlooked at all. I think it is the other way around. Southern theater gets all the attention. When I am at a convention and someone is doing a AWI game. It's a safe bet it is Guilford Court House. That includes me. |
