By the way, the Hessians were not drunk. 😄 Just a typical miserable Jersey Pennsylvania winter day. Snow, sleet and freezing rain. The kind of day when if you don't have to leave the house to go to Walmart for dog food, you put it off for tomorrow. I find it quite instructive that the Landgraf of Hesse found it necessary to demand a court of inquiry to determine the cause of this blot on Hessian Honor. The Court blamed the disaster only on generals who were killed. That satisfied Honor! I gamed this years ago. I hand built many buildings. I painted at least 80+ figures for each Hessian regiment. Rall's regiment, (NOT "von Rall"!) had appropriate figures without lapels. Before Perry, there is a Foundry range by Copplestone, of SYW Freikorps. 👍
I made up my own rules, which I thought were horrible, but the club seemed to have no problem with. 🤷 Finally, Frederick the Great thought the whole Trenton Princeton campaign was brilliant.
Washington certainly delivered, in "the times that try men's souls". Hats off to him. |

I agree with Frederick's assessment. It saved the Revolution, and the battle of Princeton, especially, was very well executed. |

We have Trenton to be played today in 54mm using Bigger Battles Rules. I will post an AAR later. |

For those who have not followed the provided link above, please go back and hit it! Striking young woman of the 4th Lt. Dragoons (Reenactment) Regiment provides a "from the saddle" report on the 2024 reenactment of the Washington's crossing. Great uniform references and remarkable look at the land that has hardly changed. God Bless The United States! TVAG |
