AWI - Field of Battle 3rd Edition - Battle of Harlem Heights

Hi,

today´s post is about the game we had at Christopher´s House on the 1st of May. We decided to play the Battle of Harlem Heights, placed in the AmericanWar of Independence.

As always the setting of Christopher´s terrain and all of his figures had been real eyecandy. 

Christopher (aka Axebreaker) planned the scenario and it worked perfectly. Franz and he played the Americans while Sebastian and I decided for the British. And we really got kicked in the ass. :)

I am sure that Christopher will also publish a post on his blog, too. So my post will only show some of the pictures I took from the game, including some close-ups of the excellent painted figures of Christopher.

If you are interested here is a link to his terrific blog:

and also to the report about the Battle of Harlem Heights.
