Finally catching up on some batreps. This was an American Revolutionary War played with command and colours rules adapted for tabletop miniatures. The revolutionary set is one of their best and is the one I have found best represents the capabilities of the wide range of troop types.

The objective for the British was to take the ridge line., with a victory point for each hill hex either held (American) or taken (British). Here my British force moves in strength to attack the hill.

The rest of the British attempting to cross the stream.

The Prussians advance down the left flank to threaten the American right flank which was held mainly by militia..


The Prussians press their attack. At this stage we did not have any cards to move the British centre which just stayed put.

The Prussian artillery pounding the hill forced the militia to retire to the reverse slope.

The threatened American right flank.

The Prussians turn the flank but at such high losses that it is unlikely they will be able to consolidate their gains. Meanwhile the British centre still stand there!

This final pic is at the stage of the battle that I had to leave showing the repulsed British right and the failed Prussian advance. The British centre with the grenadiers and light troops, the best troops on the field, have still not moved!
I find the command and colours works well for most periods and is ideal for those of us with large 15mm collections.
A great looking game. But then two nicely painted forces meeting across a good looking battlefield tends that way. 👍
I enjoy the command friction C&C brings to a game; love the use of 15mm, it creates a great spectacle.
dang! anonymous post again; don’t know why wordpress is doing that to me
I agree Dave. I especially like their Revolutionary War and Samurai rules as they both have a lot of period flavour.
Excellent Dave. Glad I was there!
Geez I didn’t think you were that old!
That looks really cool and fun. Always enjoy seeing C&C games using actual painted wargaming minis.
Thanks TPH. The C&C rules provide an excellent game.
