Rarely does it seem manufacturers write about games they've played for fun, but here's just such a post. This past weekend, we at ATKM played the inaugural game with our new War of 1812 line.
These are all 54mm troops, with a few from some other manufacturers. You can see pics here.
We used the All the King's Men rules, the 2nd edition of which is available as a free PDF download. These rules are a work in progress, but are ever closer to their finished form.
The table was 6 x 7 with lots of terrain features. The battle was fictional, and pitted seven units of British, Canadians and Indians against seven units of American regulars and militia. It was a blast, with the Americans giving the British a sound thrashing!
In the ATKM rules, generals are jeopardized when they take a direct hand with one of their units. In one case, the British general re-ordered his rocket battery only to be the victim of an errant rocket! In rules terms, his rating dropped from 2 to 1. A hilarious highlight from a great game!
With our painted collection of the figures established, we'll be using them to run convention games throughout 2010. Look for us at a show!
