Freeman's Farm Re-fight: AWI Rules Period Adaptation

I played an enjoyable re-enactment of Freeman's Farm (American War of
Independence) inspired by the scenario presented in the Black Powder Rules,
which I recently purchased.

It called for quite a number of units and a crowded table of terrain which gave
it a good visual appeal. The American Forces under Benedict Arnold put up a
stout fight and managed to blunt several of the British advances but the overall
assault on the two farmhouses were achieved once the reserve brigade of Von
Breymann moved into action.

The American line managed to secure some local victories and caused severe
losses to the advancing British so despite being a British win this came at a
hefty cost for Burgoyne.

One feature of the game was that there were a number of special rules in play
which gave quite a bit of period colour. Each unit type seemed to have some
strength or weakness which could be important in the fighting resolution: both
shooting and hand to hand e.g. American riflemen being able to pick off officers,
enforcing a morale test on any unit receiving casualties from rifle
fire even if there was no base removed. These are all in my Army Lists at the
back of each period adaptation ruleset in the Folders Sections.

I'm looking forward to the release of the Nineteenth Century Rules later this
month to give some of the European conflicts or the Crimea another go.
