If they mean to have a war, let it begin here
The Patriots
I’ve used the Perry plastic AWI stuff before and it can get very confusing since both sides are only dressed slightly different.
To get around this I decided that all my Patriots would be marching and all my Crown forces will be Charging. This way it’s very quick to pick them apart.
Battalions will be 4 bases of troops and a command base for a total of 5. Only one flag, National, per unit to avoid problems and locking myself in too much. 40mm and 4 men to a base so nothing out of the ordinary there.
With the spares I built some Light Infantry in the Caps and the set came with a total of 8 Riflemen both of which will be based on 40mm bases but only 2 to a base.
I went with Tricorns for both sides and will be doing almost all the Infantry in them, they’re so iconic and accurate for this part of the war. The British set also comes with the cut down Saratoga Caps for that Campaign and Uncocked hats for the South. The Patriot set comes with the Light Infantry Cap and Civilian style brimmed hats.
