My little AWI project

Hi all,
I've been lurking for some time, and as I've finally managed to work out how to post pictures (I think), I thought I'd come out of the shadows...
I started a small AWI project with a few members of my local club.
I had no idea which set of rules to use, nor who was going to join in, but I knew one of us would need to be Militia. I took it upon myself to take on the role of the lowly militia.
Several other club members joined in & before I knew it, we had enough players for a decent size game.
I've painted almost all the figures (British, Continentals, Hessians & Militia), but as only the Militia belong to me, I've only got a pic of them.
As soon as we play our next game, I'll be sure to take pics & try and include a batrep.
For now though, I've included a pic of my Militia. I hope you like them.

Cheers,
Rob

Good first post - welcome. I would like to build an AWI force (both sides) so will be interested to see where you go with this.

Good afternoon, Bob.

Welcome to the forum.

You'll find an incomprehensible number of people here who consider the AWI of great interest.

Nice to see another forum member step up centre stage!

As the others have said, a very impressive debut.

Look forward to more pictures.

I'm slowly losing the battle to persuade myself I'm not interested in gaming the American Rebellion ... War of Independence :)

A very warm welcome to the forum Rob :-h

As others have said an impressive first post. I like the mix of packs you have used :)

Militia fought in more actions than the 'regular' units so you should get a lot of use out of these. Just don't expect more than two volleys out of them ;)

Hi again,
Many thanks for all the kind comments.
One of my gaming buddies lent me his Brits to take some pics (I painted them for him)...


A closer look at one of the battalions...



Hopefully closer still!



Cheers,
Rob
