Thank you. It\'s funny you should mention that,but the American General Greene at Guilford Courthouse deployed his army with the full understanding that the militia would not stand for long.He used a plan devolped by Daniel Morgan in which he deployed his battle lines in 3 waves one behind the other.His intention was that they flee through each others lines.He spaced them out so they would not disrupt the other line.He used militia in the first 2 lines and had his regulars in the last.He asked his militia to fire at least 2 shots before breaking.For the most part they performed very well in this battle.In the end the British did manage to win,but they paid such a heavy toll in casualities that one member of parliment remarked that anymore victories like this will be the end of the British empire! :blackeye:

Good looking miniatures and a small interesting fact! I am pleased! Thank you, Axebreaker.

Impressively done! Like the way you blended in the casualities & runaways. And your painting absolutely does justice to the Perries\' great miniatures. Looking forward to the next units.

@Tellus

Thank you! Let me know if I made any more spelling errors. :lol: As you can see,that\'s not my strong point.I print to fast and forget to proof. :oops:

Hello everyone!

The Virgina Rifles are my new addition to this thread.These Perry Riflemen are perhaps my favorite of their entire range. :thumbsup: I hope I managed to do these wonderful mini\'s some justice. :rolleyes: The base size and type of troop allowed me to add a bit more to the bases and was alot of fun. I also added a little bit of an american indian flavour here and there to belts,haversacks and bands as they often did.
Next up is another militia unit and a brigade commander.

[Antipater]

Excellently done! I think you\'ve captured the motion of these figs very well. The massive rocks are a nice addition, too.  :thumbup:

[Axebreaker]

Thank you guys,I appreciate the compliments.

@Antipater
I\'m looking forward to seeing more of your AWI stuff. By the way,will you be going to TTU this June?If you do,please bring some of your AWI stuff along.

[Samy]

Super! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Axebreaker]

Ty!
Your buildings by the way are absolutely superb and a huge inspiration! :neo:

[Antipater]

@Axebreaker, I\'ll have to see if it\'s possible. Will you stage a participation game of BG there?

[Axebreaker]

@Antipater

Yes,we have that in mind.We wanted to do Guilford Courthouse,but we have seen that this is beyond us in terms of miniatures at the moment.We have opted instead to play Bunker Hill (minus the town)and maybe Hobkirks Hill if the mood takes us.
It\'s an informal affair in regards to absolute correct units and such for obvious reasons.As far as requirments for miniatures is they must at least be AWI period and for now that is all.
The object is to present a nice board(not spactacular)and introduce as many people as possible to this system.We encourage people to join in and play.It\'s also a chance for us to get to know the rules better,but the first and foremost goal is to play and have a good time.
You and your very nice mini\'s are welcome to join us! :thumbsup:

Hello everyone,
Here is my latest installment the 2nd Virgina Militia.The standard was similar to the one used at Bunker Hill,but I changed the color for my militia unit to use.I envisioned them adopting the banner,because they wish to emulate the performance of the troops at Bunker Hill.

They came out a bit bright,but hopefully they still pass the test.

Great paintjob! And they idea with the casualties at the back is very nice, too. It makes the unit more vivid.
