Some 1812 pics

So here are a few photos of a game I had using Sharpe Practice. The scenario was based on the Perfect captains John Bull scenario generator. I rolled beach Landing. There was no beach landing in my game. But basically, the US startedwith half thier force entering the table edge. The British started with 1/3 of thier force on the centre line of the table. The rest of the american force would arive when the initial troops had taken the center line (the beach in the scenario). The rest of the British arrive arrived shortly after this, in two 'waves' of a 1/3 of the army each.

 These are pictures right at the end of the game,  the 2nd wave of British reinforcements has just arrived. Unfortuantly for the Americans it was a unit of the 95th rifles and the Grenadiers of the 89th foot. 

This next picture show the US high tide. Sadly it was only two milita units, so at this point the americans fell back to the beach.

Here are the US Rifles I was painting last month, who put up a good showing in thier first battle. Next on the painting table are 6 more indians, to make the unit up to 12 warriors.

Till next time, whenever that is....
