REBELS AND REDCOATS-War in the colonies
SCENERY IDEAS
I picked up a couple of plastic buildings from rendera which come with a lot of fences which seem common on American battlefields. I find them a bit flimsy on the table so I decided to mount them with a few flowers and a couple of grave stones. The church can come off the board and be replaced with the cabin. Maybe they buried their relatives in the back garden. I hope to get a few more buildings so I can do the edge of a settlement.

I love the church. It reminds me of the church used as a signal the night before the British marched on Concord, with lanterns in the window. “One if by land, two if by sea …” 😀
There is an interesting documentary on the BBC called Americas greatest fibs at the moment. They did a British historical fibs a couple of years back. The first episode of the American version was about the revolution and the myths surrounding it. Paul Reveres ride was one of the subjects they looked at. How he’s remembered because of the poem but to other men rode further than him on the way to concord but he got all the credit.
There was a women who did the longest ride to warn of the British. They put up a statue to her recently. Unfortunately the name escapes me
