Having managed to finally finish painting enough figures for a 24pt force for each side for Rebels and Patriots, I finally played a game with the figures at the club on Monday against Martin.
Martin took the British and I took the Americans. We played an encounter game as it was the simplest and Martin initially had the best of the movement and firing. Things started to turn when his grenadiers charged and stopped at the bottom of the hill enabling my Militia unit to charge them. They lost the melee but did cause some casualties on the Grenadiers before fleeing the field.
After that, things started to even up and Martin's luck changed with one of his units even firing on the commander's unit at one point (double - one blunder roll).
It was close but I finally broke the Grenadiers and then Martin had a turn in which he failed to roll above 4 on any rally roll and two more units went and it was an American victory.
Fun game and really nice to get these on the table. We discovered afterwards that Pat the the club has some 40mm French Indian Wars so we are planning to use those as well for another game.
Finally finished off the AWI Snake Rail Fencing for the 40mm collection. Might add some flocking/stones to the bases but they are done for now...
12 more AWI Continental infantry finished. These have been sitting on
the painting table nearly done since the start of the New YEar.
24 more to finish off in white facings which will hopefully get done soon.
Finished off some Core Space starter set bits yesterday.
The Purge (alien robots) and the Purge reinforcements pack
The two starter set crews and 3 NPCs
All primed grey, heavily dry-brushed white and then mostly painted with washes.
Two more crews to paint next and then I'm ready for a 4 player game.
