A First Attempt at Photos

by

I’m not a photographer and this is just to get something going but here is my current American Order of Battle:


This is what I’ve got painted so far:

First Line, left to right: Lee’s Legion Foot, Regular Light Infantry, Riflemen

Second Line, behind the fence: Militia

Third Line, Continentals: New York, Virginia, Maryland

Cavalry: front to back: Lee’s Legion with a contingent of 4th Continental Dragoons, with 3rd Continental Dragoons behind.

Hill: a contingent of French Royal Deux-Ponts guard the artillery on the hill.

Some details:

1st New York Continentals prepare to deliver a volley!

The militia wait to deliver their first volley as the Maryland Continentals stand in support.

And steel themselves for the approaching bayonets!

On the flank, Lee’s Legion move aggressively forward while the 3rd Dragoons and French observe.

So there we are. First photos I’ve taken of wargames figures since I went on a Wargames Holiday at Peter Gilder’s more years ago than I care to remember! I probably should have waited for natural light as some are taken with and some without the flash. Mayb I’ll redo then at the weekend if my wife hasn’t made me pack them away or the cat attacked them!

A few British to follow but it is a few as the other guys I started this with were doing the Soldiers of the KIng.
