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.
A delightful looking table, the 40mm do look splendid.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm - it was great to finally get them on the table
DeleteGreat looking game Mike
ReplyDeleteThanks - I need to work on some cornfields and perhaps some gullies to add some variety I think
