The Race to Weitzel's Mill: part 1


  Another article from Gorget and Sash.  A brilliant article about The Weitzel's Mill action by Kenneth Hayes.  This is the best researched article I have read about This battle and it has the added bonus of an number of pictures from the battlefield.  Kenneth Hayes has done a number of outstanding articles and this is one of his best.

Storming of the Spring Hill Redoubt 1779: Part 2


  Here is the second part of the article with order of battle and uniform details.  Jim Purkey at Five and Drum miniatures has just mentioned he may be doing 1779 French for this campaign.  If so that would be a push to get me to paint yet another group of miniatures for my collection!








Storming of the Spring Hill Redoubt 1779: Part 1




There is very little information available out there on the Southern Campaigns during the American Revolution in 1779. The campaign saw a interesting variety of unusual regiments and small number of men which makes gaming it very attractive.  In addition it is one of the few times you can field a French army!  The following article was published in the magazine "Gorget and Sash" volume 3 number 2.  It about the siege of Savannah and specifically the storming of the Spring Hill Redoubt.  Great article and all the basic information you need to fight out this interesting battle.
