This is a new range for 2010. The range covers the American War of Independence or Revolutionary war. 
The rules are called "Washington's Army". This range will be the most up to date of any manufacturer, incorporating the latest research.  There are already 160 original sculpts in this range (not just conversions of figures) with lots more on the way. This already makes the range much bigger than that of most other company's, wherein packs often only have one pose. Notice that the white stockings and bearskins beloved of AWI battles were not a  common feature on the AWI battlefield after the first few battles. Most research indicates that the bearskins did not even get to America! Flags were not always carried by British units either. The figures in this range are sculpted in battle poses rather than marching, as the units in WA are in action from the game start! This range will start a whole new interest by companies and gamers in AWI as I don't think anyone has released new 15mm AWI figures in the last few years? This will be great for the period.

Don't forget that many packs could be used for both sides. Click here to go to rules page

Line infantry=standard units armed with musket and bayonet. Usually in 6 base/24 figure units. Flags.
Light infantry=better than line infantry and able to operate in various orders. Usually in 6 base/18 figure units. No flags.
Dragoons= the standard cavalry type of the war  for both sides. Usually in 3 base/9 figure units. Flags.
Field artillery= the standard type of artillery.  Usually 1 gun and 4 crew on a base.
Battalion gun= standard lighter gun. Usually 1 gun and 3 crew attached to a foot battalion.
Generals= mounted commanders. Usually 4 per army.
Militia = standard non line infantry. Not bayonet armed. Usually in 6 base/18 figure units. Flags.
Indians= native American . Musket armed but not usually the core of an army. Usually 6 bases/18 figure units. No flags.

All basic packs have either 8 infantry or 4 cavalry figures .

AWI army 8- Continental (American) late war army.(WAB08)

This is army number 8 in the Washington's army rules.  This army is about as good as it gets for the Americans. It has artillery and quality regular infantry.
The packs provided will cater for the needs of the army but there may be the odd excess figure or short figure that can be diverted to where it is needed.
In WA the placement of the command base indicates the unit quality. Command base at the right/front = veteran. Command base at the centre= average. Command base at left/rear =raw.  This means you can re-configure that army at your own whim!

AWI army 4- British Southern late war army.(WAB04)

This is army number 4 in the Washington's army rules.  This is an excellent British army. It is tough and hard fighting. The loyalist militia are there to support their sovereigns troops.

AWI army 5- British loyalist army.(WAB05)

This is army number 5 in the Washington's army rules.  This is a British loyalist army fighting in the south. It has  a large number of units but the Indians are poor quality, as are some of the militia.  British regulars are present in the form of veteran light infantry who are superb and Scots infantry too. The sheer size of this army gives the general more flexibility in his battle plan.

3 bases of AVERAGE quality dragoons. One of the three bases will be a 2 figure command base. Based on 3x4 cm bases.

AWI army 6- Continental (American) early war army.(WAB06)

This is army number 6 in the Washington's army rules.  This army is the first semi-regular army that Washington could get in to the field.   Many of the line infantry and militia are untested but keen.  Most of the  line infantry would be state militia (who are regular despite the militia title). It has a useful amount of artillery. Gun carriages can be red or natural wood. Note that the infantry should be mixed up so that some have regular uniform with tricornes and others hunting shirts all within the same unit.

16mm dice. Peter Pig first produced these dice with piggy head on the 6 (instead of the traditional 1) about 5 years ago(2003). Another innovation from Peter Pig.
