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.

  1. Nick - very impressive. It seems to be a popular option - The British Grenadier Scenarios say it (well Chatterton Hill to be more precise) is a good starter because of the variety of troops used. Steve Smith (Steve's Paintingshed blog) put on a spectacular version at the latest Partizan. It's shaping up to be a spectacular AWI (AR) year. Farqs

    1. It’s a popular battle to fight out in the table top due to the variety of troops and terrain. I saw pictures of the one you mentioned and it looks great.

  2. You are on a roll with great gaming tables of Revolutionary War battles! Is that Chatterton Hill at the top of the first photo?

  3. Yes it is. One if the individuals putting in the game, Maria lived in a house in the battlefield so they added it to the game.
