Essex Warriors put on an AWI game at Salute this year - the Battle of Freeman's Farm
Here's Steve, Graham and Bob setting up
terrain and most of the figures were supplied by Graham
and we're off ! British troops march to attack
skirmishers to the front
an attack is launched against the enemy right flank
their centre is strong and our light troops have failed to take the building in the centre
Americans form up on some high ground
another column of British move up
a strong brigade of Americans hold position in a field
as others put pressure on the centre
Serious comparing of notes here by Bob and Graham !

All in all, we had an enjoyable day and received many favourable comments from visitors.
As we were so wrapped up in our game and chatting to people, it was difficult to get around and see the rest of the show - although I did sneak off to buy some lovely troops from Gringo40s stall - Maximillian Adventure anyone ?!!
Terrific looking game!
ReplyDeleteYour game was very impressive. I swung by a couple of times to admire it (and take some pictures of course).
ReplyDeleteIt was a top looking game Steve, unfortunately all the pics I took of the game came out blurry!!
