Like you I cleave to Will McNally's AWI rules although I use the computerised version put up by Tony Delyall. <br /><br />As to Marines fighting on land; well Major Samuel Nicholas' contingent of Continental Marines formed part of Cadwalader's Brigade at the Battle of Princeton in 1777. Also let us not forget the heroic efforts of Colonel John Glover's 14th Continental Regiment composed mainly of men from Marblehead (Mass.) who are commonly thought to have been sailors and fishermen in semi-nautical garb - they basically pulled Washington's fat out of the fire at Brooklyn by ferrying the army Manhattan. In addition they ferried him back and forth across the Delaware and helped out at Trenton in '76. If not actual marines they proved to be something more useful sailing soldiers!Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411800077003227112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-46572416999637968742011-05-29T18:44:43.309+00:002011-05-29T18:44:43.309+00:00Great post, It looked and sounded like a very enjo...Great post, It looked and sounded like a very enjoyable game.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-41298868453297918152011-05-27T08:22:27.328+00:002011-05-27T08:22:27.328+00:00Huzzah - I'm sure John would heartily approve!...Huzzah - I'm sure John would heartily approve!Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-79838851840754129122011-05-26T14:40:42.718+00:002011-05-26T14:40:42.718+00:00Cheers one and all - the comments were much apprec...Cheers one and all - the comments were much appreciated...

On a different tack I also enjoy the Samson books by Deighton and have found they are worth rereading. His book about a Berlin family which give background to the characters is also worth reading.<br />Regards<br />JimJim Walkleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-90800839958733442011-05-25T18:48:51.541+00:002011-05-25T18:48:51.541+00:00Hurrah for the Hessians!Hurrah for the Hessians!Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-47431447280150000292011-05-23T00:05:04.505+00:002011-05-23T00:05:04.505+00:00Well done!

A fitting tribute and an attractive and interesting game. <br /><br />However, while I only have the evidence of 3 versions of this scenario plus the original, the score appears to be 4 victories for the North/Federal side vs none for the Rebels. Interesting. Cries out for a rematch or 2.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-33941892786016006852011-05-22T18:55:22.295+00:002011-05-22T18:55:22.295+00:00Excellent and a fitting tribute to your friend.Excellent and a fitting tribute to your friend.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-66084019013610951072011-05-22T15:05:48.183+00:002011-05-22T15:05:48.183+00:00Steve

Your terrain was a very good representation of the original Featherstone map, and the translation to AWI worked well.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.com
