AWI at John's

John pulled out one of his large collections and put on an AWI game for 6 of us a few weeks ago in the garage.  The Colonials won at the end of the day - but not before I learnt the difficulty of attacking (attempting to!!) a redoubt that was held by Hessians.


"The Redoubt"



Just up there boys


The 4 marker signifies casualties from defensive fire on the way in - we didn't stay for long

Revenge was had a few turns later when my other regiment attacked the rear of the redoubt.

And finally a shot of an excellent cornfield that had been put together by Phil who unfortunately could not join us for the day.

    1. Jonathan, we have been quite lucky in being able to get together over large periods of the past three years - so gaming has been possible. I probably got 12-15 games in over the year.

    1. Excellent John. The feeling and banter around the table adds to the great experience of the game.

  3. Thanks for the comment on my blog mate, I’m unable to reply due to some technical issue, planning on sticking to 1/72 WWII for all of 23

    1. Dan I hope your plans come to fruition. Have always liked looking at your work as inspiration. Having just done the first three 20mm in a few years for a game last night, I am tempted to get back into some more of that section of the pile.
