Simon has brought the armies back to the club several times since, very much by popular demand and one night I got to play with these brilliant figures. Mac and I took the Americans facing off against an advancing line of British. The rules were 'British Grenadier', a variant of the 'General de Brigade' Napoleonic rules. Here are a few pics:

| My riflemen on the left flank close in to give some fire to some Hessian mercenaries |
 |
| American general's issue orders |
 |
| Some American dragoons move off in front of a battery on our far left flank. A militia unit hold a blockhouse |
 |
| On the right Mac commands the American line which lets loose at the British advancing with bayonet |
 |
| Skirnishers let the Britsh have a few rounds before retiring |
 |
| Withering fire keeps most of the British at bay and one one unit charges homw but fails to dislodge the Yanks |
 |
| Having run off some Indians my riflemen continue to snipe at the Hessians |
 |
| The battle climaxed with American dragoons charging the Hessians, they were driven off, but with the American line on the right driving back a regiment of Highlanders and holding off everything else we thought we came off the best |
