OldNickParticipantAlways buy/ paint both sides for any period I do.

OldNickParticipantAlways collected both sides of a historical era. American and British for AWI/ Russian and British (and now French) for Crimean. Never saw the purpose of non historical match ups.

Late to the party on this one! But thank you for sharing this. Your order of battle is outstanding. On par with the late Greg Novak’s works and just as good. Really good stuff.
Almost finnished with my AWI troops for tjis theater. For a campaign I will he using Steve Hallers old article campaigns without maps
<p style=”display: inline !important;”>from vol 1 no 1 of the courier. Really a series of connected battles but it works. Will substitute your order of battle for his. Really good stuff here thank you!</p>

OldNickParticipantOk! Finally tracked down a set of the rules and the author. As the Green Knight said the author wrote a nice series about AWI gaming in the old original edition of the courier back in the 1970’s. They helped to create a life long interest in and fascination about the AWI and evan a career of 30 years with the NPS. So thank you go those who helped with this!

OldNickParticipantVery good news! Always loved the Willie figures by Suren. They had a charm that is lacking from many manufacturers.

Wish I could say something witty snd funny but truth be told I was just brain dead. I should have posted that I was looking for a copy of The whites of their eyes rules by Steve Haller. These came out in the 1970’s and were published by The Courier (first edition Courier not the glossy second edition which was reestablished in the 1980’s). Steve Haller was the original editor for their american revolution theme.

OldNickParticipantThank you both for the information!

OldNickParticipantThose sounds like great ideas.

OldNickParticipantNumber of figures per st and ate not that important. You toll fir fire by stand

OldNickParticipantNot too many modifications. We ignore to commander giving order. On movement we let brigades roll for movement and all units within brigade have same movement rate. Also units must move full movement rolled unless commander states to stop at fence/wall that sort of thing.

OldNickParticipantTo me “beer and Pretzel” are what brought me back to the table. I started out withMorschauser’s rules. Moved to Column, line and square. After that the super realistic super real its not a game its a simulation rules 🙂 I tried Empire and actually nodded off during a charge. That was not for me. So I went for simple rules but with a twist. “Loose files and American scramble” gave me a game simple game but reflected what my reading suggested a rev war battle felt like. The d points sre a simple but clever way to reflex troop training and morale. I could teach the game to new players and they picked it up and ran with it.

OldNickParticipantFife and Drum miniatures for Am Rev War. Great figures and very nice/easy to paint. Especially like the campaign look for the British.
Also Kings Mountain miniatures. A smallish company who are doing southern campaign 1780-81. A true labor of love. Wonderful excellent figures. While I had only planed to have one battalion 71st in my army I added a second they were so nice.

OldNickParticipantI play 25/28mm American Rev. War with “loose files and American Scramble.” Picked them up in first issue of wargames illustrated and never looked backed. While most of the time I used 20mm figures from Frying Pan and Blanket I have recently converted over to 25/28mm from Perry snd especially Fife and Drum miniatured
