That's largely because the BG fraternity in London uses those bases and all my collection is based that way. I can't see anything wrong with a 40mm frontage though. Good luck with your project!<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-87381334872850130592009-12-09T17:33:34.670+00:002009-12-09T17:33:34.670+00:00Hi Giles,

I'll be delighted if I can have a grenadier unit in it!<br /><br />Are you still using 36mm x 50mm or the more straightforward 40mm x 50mm? The reason I'm asking about these sorts of details is that my AWI project will start this Xmas! I can resist no longer...<br /><br />Best Wishes and thank you for the inspiration. Good Luck with the Carlist set-up - don't you just love those British shakoes!<br /><br />TheoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-58901708566731678582009-12-08T22:48:21.305+00:002009-12-08T22:48:21.305+00:00Hi Theo

I presume it is a musketeer or Fusilier Regt that got a new Colonel after Trenton. Most orbats for AWI seem slightly different from each other!!<br /><br />TheoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-83234091661936548502009-12-01T00:13:24.739+00:002009-12-01T00:13:24.739+00:00Again,I can always look to Giles for inspiration! ...Again,I can always look to Giles for inspiration! At the moment I'm working on the OG special edition Brits that Chris Hughes did a few years ago,amazing figures! To flesh out my Ft. Clinton/Montgomery expedition. I'm also about to enter the deep waters that are the 40mm S&S ocean! <br />My fave Brit regiment! The fought nearby and were taken by Mad Anthony Wayne at the fort at Stony Point. They are also on my list of units for my Southern Army.<br />Great work as always Giles!

I won't be buying the book, at least not in the near future, but I'd also be interested in seeing how a core AWI battle plays out. I'd be concerned about (a) the quick movement rule and (b) the lack of open order. (a) is probably more a concern of the British player - it's hard to co-ordinate an attack if one of your battalions suddenly finds itself 10 inches in front of everyone else...<br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-7693378886788992252009-11-28T16:36:55.935+00:002009-11-28T16:36:55.935+00:00Giles,
