July 3rd Parade

 

  Set up a parade of some of my Continental Line.  Along a country road  reinforced brigade marches under the watchful eye of the Commander in Chief, some towns folks and some non interested sheep.   

Regiments include the 9th Continental (1st RI) and 11th Continental (2nd RI)  line battalions.

The 1st and 3rd New York, Smallwood's Maryland  and 19th Continental regiments.

Also an opportunity to show off my new roads from Wargames Terrain.  

I will post a few more Continental and Militia pictures tomorrow.  Then Sir William Howe's army the next day.

A Very Bad Day

 

Its a very dark day for our country.  I promised once to never post anything political.  Today, upset and horrified I will break my promise.  Back to more pleasant things tomorrow.
