My most memorable American War of Independence wargame took place nearly 20 years ago at the Wellington Warlords' (the wargaming club of New Zealand's capital city) annual wargaming competition, ‘Call to Arms'. We have recently located the original hardcopy photos taken of the 2002 Battle of Guilford Courthouse game. So take a look back at what I think was one of the finest AWI wargames ever, even though it took place nearly nearly two decades ago! link Here's a few sample shots from the above link:
(I cheated with this particular pic and re-touched it a bit!) More pics here: link |

I think the retouching just emphasises how good the miniatures look, especiallly for a game in progress as opposed to a studio shoot. |

I remember seeing those photos many years ago. They were spectacular then and time has done nothing to change that. |

Those are amazing pictures and can easily help get people into this as a new genre for gaming and getting figures! |

Yes, I remember this. This was a huge reason why I almost exclusively starting doing AWI. Beautiful pics, miniatures, terrain… Thank you for reminding us.

Stunningly beautiful game, in scenery and miniatures, and even more majestic due to nostalgia!
Cheers

Thank you, beautiful And you have got the right feel for the terrain. Maybe the nicest I have ever scene, diorama quality. |

Beautifully done. That is a game I'm sure we all wish we had played. |

Seems like a huge game, and may the redo project proceed amazingly to the point where it is as good if not better than the first, cheers! |

Gorgeous! New Zealand has a heck of a lot of good modeler/gamers. |
is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
