AWI (August 2015)

American War of Independence

or

The American Revolutionary War

We had our first ever AWI game at the club this month (this period of gaming is a great favourite of Steve M) this was organised by Jason.
There were a number of delays to have this game as we wanted to have it in May.
In the end we had the game and it was good, we used the Musket and Tomahawk rules with it's card system.
Nobody had any idea what was unit/s going to be activated, so think quickly about what you want to happen.

Any way have a look at the pictures and we try and get someone to write something about the game.

The figures are Perry and Wargames Factory.

The British pressure on the farm mounted, the the Americans continued to hold

The American right flank had all but disappeared by the end of the day

Are the woods on fire?

These guys did nothing all day

Move over the river boys

The Colonials still have the objective
