My 15mm British baggage base for DBAWI. Peter Pig figures including the 'Ladies waving enthusiastically' pack that I could not resist! Adds a nice touch of humour I think. If I can source some suitable white picket fencing I will add it along the side of the road in front of those lovely ladies :) Working on the American base now and it will be time for some action. Cheers, Lee. Should you care to visit my blog (link below) you will find lots more pics and info on this project. napoleonictherapy.blogspot.com

Well done! Where can one find DBAWI?

Nice!

Well done! You know, with small bases and a sabot system, the same ladies could wave enthusiastically at both armies in turn. Probably not unhistorical.

Desert Fox: The rules are an 'unofficial' version of DBN which in turn were derived from DBA! I have played quite a lot of DBN games (see photo below) over the years and am sure they can be adapted for the American Revolution. Essentially they can be played on boards just 2'x2'. My old wooden card table is 2'6" x 2'^6" so plenty of space. Fredrick: Thank you Sir! robert piepenbrink: I have used a couple more 'enthusiastic ladies' on the American baggage base for balance! 79thPA: thank you very much :) the blog has been going for 14 years now.
