REBELS AND REDCOATS-War in the colonies

I got my last box of minies for the Bunker Hill battle. I went for a perry miniatures plastic kit which is my favourite range for the period. I have one large unit of Marines to put together and the rest are used to complete a small Light Infantry unit. Nice break from the terrain building and I have a quick system for re cats now so hope to have them done by the end of the week.

Today I completed the light company detachment that I put together yesterday. I thought mixing the Warlord plastics with the Perrys might look odd but it seems to be alright.

I have now finished my roads criss crossing the battlefield. I watched a terrain tutor video on this and made some simple dirt tracks with some filler. My main concern was warping but mells tutorials have some good tips to prevent this. I put some tape under the card to stiffen it up and it’s worked well.

Stared work on my last unit for Bunker Hill. Marines ( not yet Royal ) should get these done over the weekend fingers crossed.

After spending far too much money at Salute I ended up walking around with just £1.50 in my pocket and was determined to find something to waste it on. I fond these little chicks and out of all my new minis were the first to get painted up and added to my town.

I think my Breeds Hill battlefield is ready now. Need to work on the hill a little but it will do. This is all ready for a big black powder game that will involve a number of players on May the 4th. I do a large participation game every year on my birthday so this year its bunker hill. I hope to post a battle report after the event.
