The scenario was a meeting engagement with both sides needing to secure the two bridges over the river. For once my dice actually rolled average! I managed to take the bridge on my side of the table (right side, away from the village) and send the British packing. Things were more even on the left flank, but once I broke through the result was a foregone conclusion. French victory.
I was embroiled in the action and only got pictures really at the start of the game. The rules are decent and we played fhrough the whole afair in about 3 hours.
Nice setup and I like the second photo with close up of Indians.

I wish I had taken more pictures ... just completely blanked.
DeleteVery nice looking setup. French and Indian War is my favorite period, which is appropriate as I live it the St. Lawrence River Valley. I've played with Rebels and Patriots several times.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Nova Scotia - visited Louisburg and all the forts around Halifax on a regular basis. Always enjoyed reading about and playing FIW games.
DeleteThat's a very nice looking table, with excellent, very realistic ground cover. Dan deserves cudos. It seems your group has set a high standard, which benefits all, as this leads everyone, even us kibbitzers, to improve. Rock on, men! What's next?
ReplyDeletelol, you are funny Steve! Next ... Samurai stuff ... medieval ... hoping to see/play Agincourt by the end of the year :-)
DeleteDan sets a great looking table. Now I am really sorry I missed the game!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, but we'll be playing it again :-)
DeleteExcellent! Please keep me on the guest list.
ReplyDeleteWill do :-)
DeleteWho makes those FIW miniatures?
ReplyDeleteHi Mark, they are mostly Conquest Miniatures (sold by Warlord Games), with some from Galloping Major (Canadian militia), civilians from Perry Miniatures AWI range, British light infantry from Redoubt Enterprises.
DeleteGreat stuff Jay! That's a really impressive table and setup 😀
ReplyDeleteHow do you like R&P compared to Muskets and Tomahawks?
Heya Ivor! I think R&P support a larger game ... M&T really breaks down when you either have more than 2 players or a game involving more than a skirmish on a 3x3 or 4x4 table.
DeleteThat's a superb looking table!
ReplyDeleteThickly forested ... great for FIW :-)
