Not exactly a totally new addition to the ranks of my World Turned Upside Down AWI project, but in my recent post I look at the 6th Maryland Regiment, part of the 1st Maryland Brigade at Brandywine and explain how my use of sabot basing allows my previously created 3rd New York Continental Regiment from the Northern Department to assume the guise of this key component of the Central and later Southern Departments.
In addition I have outlined my plans to recreate the 1st and 2nd Maryland Brigades for the 1777 campaign with other units to be featured in upcoming posts. link JJ |

Very handsome!
I am curious as to what rules you use for your AWI games? I have an AWI project in the wings. |

Nicely done. I particularly like how the uniforms are not a perfect match.
But please try something besides the Betsy Ross flag. It was NOT carried in the field. |

Hi Chaps,
Thanks for your comments. bobpruster: The rules I am planning to use are Rise & Fight Again from Stand to Games and Carnage & Glory II, computer moderated rules from Nigel Marsh. The options provide a paper based set and computer moderated set both very much focussed on fatigue levels as a concept, something I very much enjoy incorporated into my tabletop wargaming. I ran a warm-up game of R&FA at the DWG back in June this year.
link JtOFM: I think I have seen you make reference to the Betsy Ross flag not being used in another post and I would love to know the reference for your comment. I have spent a fair bit of time reading and gathering as much source material on American flags as is available and I have other folks referenced claiming that this or similar design's were first used at Brandywine by some units and I know Edward Richardson's esteemed tome ‘Standards & Colours of the American Revolution – 1982 only makes reference to Ross providing such flags for the Pennsylvania Navy, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that the design wasn't copied out to the army. Cheers
