At this point in the past, I would have taken the time and black lined the entire figure.<br />
<br />
Instead, I tried out a new shading wash using a mixture of artist inks and Pledge floor wax. Here is a photo with the shading applied:<br />

I kind of like the shading. It gives the figure some depth, but it also looks much more the part of a 19th century soldier.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-30961953296666384592015-04-12T10:11:00.000-07:002015-04-12T13:08:55.516-07:00Regimental Fire & Fury for the War of 1812In case you missed it on my regular gaming site, I thought I would give you a battle report on a game I hosted yesterday at our wargames club. <br />

I had an opportunity to host a Regimental Fire & Fury war of
1812 game yesterday at the club. The game went very well. Here are some
photos of the game. My thanks to Bob, Paul, Mike and Matt for playing
in the game!<br />

I had a great time putting on this game. I have run
the scenario on four occasions using Volley & Bayonet Wing
scale. The games turned out fine, but I really enjoyed changing over to
the F&F rules for a change of pace. I am thinking that this
will also make a great scenario for the new computer moderated rules
that my friend AJ is working on.<br />
<br />
The battle ended up
being larger than I anticipated and so we did not get to a complete
conclusion. I hope to run it again this summer here at the house so we
can hopefully fight the whole game. As it was the Americans held onto
the farm and could have pretty easily held the small bridge which was a
tertiary victory condition. The British caused more casualties then
they took, and I think given a few more turns, they would have given the
Americans a run for their money in the fight to control the farm.<br />
<br />
The players also provided me with some great feedback on the victory conditions which I will incorporate into my next game. <br />
<br />
Overall I would say that this was a very successful game which I hope players enjoyed participating in.<br />

<br />
The scenario is loosely based on the historical Battle of Beaver Dams. In this version of events the Americans are holding a small fort along the Niagara River Road. The British have them under a loose siege and the Americans have to move a re-supply and relief force to the bridge. The British must stop the relief column and try to take the fort.<br />
<br />
During this game the Americans moved very slowly at the start and so they never really had a chance to move the supplies towards the fort. This is one of the downsides of the variable movement aspect of Brother Against Brother. The British initially stopped the Americans and inflicted casualties, but towards the end of the game the superior firepower of the American rifles squads all but destroyed the British. Also, one of the British players suffered a THWACK! morale card and it took three turns to replace the company commander. This stopped his force from assaulting the fort and really affected the overall British battle plan. Both sides agreed that given enough time the Americans would be able to pull out a victory and relieve the fort.<br />
<br />
This was a very enjoyable game and all of the players felt that the scenario could definitely be won by either side. I have included all different kinds of troops in the orders of battle because I like having them on the board. There are American Regulars, Rifles, Mounted Kentucky Rifles, and Militia. For the Crown there are British Regulars, Royal Marines, West Indies Regiment, Militia, Voltiguers Canadiens, and Glengarry Light Infantry. A real hodge-podge, but a lot of fun to play!<br />
<br />
Overall I am satisfied with the scenario and I look forward to running it again in a couple of months at a convention in Vermont.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-88488436927140426212014-08-03T11:34:00.000-07:002014-08-03T11:34:40.352-07:00WOW!

We had a great trip and convention. I have a couple of things for the War of 1812 from the Con.<br />
<br />
1. I picked up two packs of Knuckleduster figures for the collection. I got the US Dismounted Staff pack and the US Militia Artillerist pack. Both are excellent sets of figures. I will be using the artillerists for my supporting guns at Queenstown Heights game. The staff are for my army command stands and others specialist stands.<br />
<br />
2. I played in a Chrysler's Farm 1813 game. I had a really good time. The terrain was excellent and the figures were well painted. I played in the game because they were using a set of rules I had not used before, Wellington Rules. Designed for Napoleonic small unit actions, the rules seemed to work well for Wo1812. I am considering getting them and trying them out for my games.<br />
<br />
3. In probably the find of the convention among the Northern Conspiracy, I got a set of buildings and a fort for my 1812 collection. I will post photos as soon as possible. There are five buildings, an animal pen and stockade fort with blockhouse all assembled and painted, ready to go. Really good price at the flea market as I got them all for the same money that I was considering spending on a smaller fort and blockhouse kit unpainted!<br />
<br />
Overall this was a great con and hopefully this, and the new house, will help get me motivated to get some 1812 gaming going!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-85346028974338769312012-12-22T07:59:00.000-08:002012-12-22T07:59:06.853-08:00Big War of 1812 Game Coming Next YearI am starting work on a big game for next year. I will be hosting a day-long mini campaign for our gaming club. We will be using the 1814 Niagara Campaign as the basis for the scenario. More to come in the next few weeks. Here are a couple of photos from our last 1812 era Napoleonic game. We will be using the same rules for the mini campaign.

We used Volley & Bayonet in Wing Scale. This was at least the fifth or sixth time that we have played this game, although we have been modifying the rules a bit just about every time we played. It was a great battle with much of the back and forth of previous games.
Scott's Brigade attacked aggressively and early (very historical) with unfortunately the historical results of being almost completely wiped out! Ripley's Brigade and Porter's militia followed Scott into battle and actually closed with the British on the hill to good effect.
The British took a very historical approach in their battle plan also. Guns were placed on the hill and their infantry supported the guns. They fairly well dared the Americans to attack! There was a slightly stronger push south by the British along the Portage Road but it was well handled by the Militia Brigade.
Overall the British players had a good battle plan and they definitely had the dice rolls to back up their tactics! It seemed like every time there was a combat resolution or a morale check the appropriate die roll came up! The British were on fire.
Overall this was again a very enjoyable scenario which could have gone either way. I am glad we had an opportunity to play the game.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-57134711942158806542012-09-09T20:15:00.000-07:002012-09-09T20:15:12.452-07:00Brother Against Brother - American UnitsHere are the American units that I have for the Brother Against Brother game system.

The units include two squads of regular line infantry, a Marine squad, a squad of Voltiguers Canadiens, one of West Indies infantry and one of Glengarry Light Infantry.

I named the ship after an actual 8-gun Brig which was used as a Privateer out of Portsmouth, NH during the American Revolution. I can use it as a gun boat on the Great Lakes during the War of 1812. I have a total of twenty crew members which can be used as the crew for the boat as well as a landing force. The smaller ship's boat is a kit that my friend AJ designed from his laser cutter. It is very simple to assemble and looks really good for this time frame. I have several more of the kits to assemble to use with my Queenstown Heights scenario. This boat will look much better when I get it stained.

The stands still have to be finished, however, I am pretty happy with the figures themselves. These units will be spearheading the American crossing of the Niagara in my Queenstown scenario!<br />

There is one British/Canadian and one American. Both of the units are for my Queenstown Heights game. The first unit is a battalion of Canadian Militia in round hats. The figures are from the fine Knuckleduster range including center company, flank company and command packs. I really like the figures and because of the wealth of detail of the sculpts, they are pretty easy to paint.<br />
<br />
The other unit is the 2nd US Artillery serving as a battalion of infantry. The figures in the this unit come from the Old Glory War of 1812 range and are the regular infantry poses painted in Artillery colors. The figures are pretty well detailed and they didn't take that long to paint - at least not once I got going on them!<br />
<br />
With these two units painted, my Queenstown Heights OOB is complete with the correct figures and I am ready to do a second playtest of the scenario. Hopefully I can get that game in during the month of January.<br />
<br />
I know that I owe photos of my buildings and now these figures. I am having camera issues right now, but as soon as I get those issues resolved, I will get photos up so everyone can see the new additions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-50136614129161800232011-12-08T19:05:00.000-08:002011-12-08T19:05:25.223-08:00New BuildingsI have completed painting some Native American buildings and a small farmhouse for my War of 1812 battlefields. I didn't do anything fancy with the paint jobs, but they came out ok.<br />
<br />

I have mounted these figures individually and in units of 10 figures to be used with the rules set "Brother Against Brother". I think the figures came out very well. There are both US and British/Canadian units in these photos as indicated below.<br />
<br />
Here are the British/Canadian forces. The units include British Line, West Indies, Royal Marines, Voltigeurs Canadiens, and Glengarry Light Infantry.<br />

These figures are mounted on temporary stands and I have photographed them before the stands were complete because I wanted to get something on line. These figures came out really nice and I think that they will look great once they are mounted on the permanent stands that I have ordered for them.<br />
<br />
This first photo is of the American commanders I had painted in this order. These are from the Knuckleduster War of 1812 Range of figures. These are painted to Showcase standards and I think they are very well done.<br />
<br />

This next photo is of the American Rifle Regiment in green uniforms. These figures are painted to Collector standards which is one level below Showcase standards. I think these figures are painted to a perfectly acceptable standard for the wargames table.<br />

I haven't unpacked all of them yet, however, the figures I have unpacked are VERY nice! These figures will be mounted each on their own stand. The units in the Brother Against Brother (BAB) are usually about ten figures with one of the figures being an NCO or officer. I think this level of combat is going to be just right for smaller battles such as Sackett's Harbor or Beaver Dams. It will be fun to use the units in different and maybe make up a scenario of my own based in some way on one of these historical scenarios. I will have photos of these new troops up as soon as I get a chance.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-51644734290679742052011-10-25T07:25:00.000-07:002011-11-04T10:54:13.551-07:00War of 1812 Figures On the Way!Just received news that my new figures for the War of 1812 skirmish scenarios are on the way! They were shipped back to me yesterday and I hope to have them within 3-4 weeks. I have seen photos of the figures as they were painted and they came out very well. I had about 120 figures painted which will give me a good set of units to chose from for different skirmish scenarios. I will post pictures of the figures as soon as they arrive.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-56897421450009633432011-10-18T12:57:00.000-07:002011-11-04T10:54:30.893-07:00The 2012 PlanWell, here comes the 200th anniversary year of the War of 1812 in North America. I have been and painting Wo1812 figures for many years. I haven't counted them lately, but I think I have around 300!<br />
<br />
The "Plan" for 2012 is to have several game night games and then a blowout game day next fall. I would like to use all of my units on that game day. I also am going to do a game or two of Brother Against Brother adapted for the War of 1812.<br />
<br />
I have two scenarios set for the game nights. The first is Queenstown Heights and the other is Lundy's Lane. I want to do a couple more playtests of each game before I host the game night games.<br />
<br />
I will keep you updated.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687347320742112757.post-51247435666405997112011-10-18T12:11:00.000-07:002011-11-04T10:52:58.560-07:00American Figures for War of 1812Here are some of my American Forces<br />

Now I am back and the War of 1812 is coming up on its 200th anniversary. In celebration of this milestone, I will be hosting several games in the next year. The games will use the Volley & Bayonet game system in Wing Scale and a set of rules called Brother Against Brother modified for the American War of Independence and War of 1812.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
