It had been a hard winter for campaigning and after the failure of the British attempt to march through the snow to make a surprise attack on the outskirts of Belmont, both sides settled into Winter Quarters. Once the snow had melted and the ground dried up a bit, Brigadier Turner determined to get his men into shape and resume his attack on the Acadian settlements.

Nice to see the newly painted figures on the tabletop.

What rules do you use?. Were can ii find them.?eThanks for all battlereports which i always read with pleasure. Keep on rolling...
ReplyDeleteMostly I use home rules these days, an aspect of my hobby since my first Don Featherstone book in 1971. For most of the last 50 years I've had friends to game with and often played commercial sets but these days I'm mostly back to playing solo with home rules. The set used for this game can be found here:

Like I mentioned on the VWC, that picture with the men behind the abatis is, for me, iconic. I love that shot. Looking forward to seeing how those Provincials make out.

I've never actually seen one in person but I have fought my way through broad hedges of "post-hurricane" fallen trees on the edge of woods.
