Battle of Kings Mountain

 

The Battle of  Kiings Mountain.  Another super looking game.  While I have very little interest in the actual battle I was amazed at the terrain.  I was detailed to an event in the 1980's at the park so I am very familiar with the terrain.  They captured the look and feel of the battlefield perfectly.  Outstanding job guys!

Battle of White Plains

 

Since the Battle of White Plains was the very first reenactment I took part in (October 1972) I have always had a interest in the actual battle.   This game captured the terrain perfectly.  In addition Doug and Maria were great people and just really fun to talk to.  Both were very knowledgeable about the battles and she grew up in a house on the field of battle.

Fort Mifflin

 

Outstanding game based on von Donop's Hessian Grenadiers attacking Fort Mifflin 1777.  

The fort and terrain were some of the best reconstruction I had seen.  The gun boats in the river were a very nice touch.   

Hunting the Great White Whale Moby Dick

 “To the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee..."

Captain Ahab’s final words in "Moby Dick"

The Hunt for Moby Dick is a fun  game perfect for a late night at the convention.  You command a whale boat that tries to manoeuvre close enough to try and harpoon the whale. You might miss.   If you harpoon the whale it might drag you along as crew members fall over board or dive and drag your boat under the water.  In addition you don't know which way the whale will move or if it will dive under the water or where it will surface.   In addition the small boats tend to get in each others way and you may collide and sink about boat.  Lastly if you fall over board beware the sharks!

Battle of Princeton

  

A meeting engagement between Washington's army and a smaller British Brigade.  Based in the historical scenario but a few addition British units added to make the game a little more even.  In this game although the British put up a grand fight the more numerous Americans broke there right flank and center for a victory.
