Bunker Hill & AWI project

Bunker Hill by Don Troiani

The project to re-fight the battle of Bunker Hill and the American War of Independence is a good point. The British order of battle, is almost complete. I also added other British units, useful to replay battles of the war.

For Americans, I organized differently. American troops at Bunker Hill were almost all of the militia and without uniforms, but I decided to create a number of regiments that fought in various stages of the war, choosing those with the most interesting uniform or who have fought more battles.

All the pieces have been painted by the talented Luca Onesti (Strategianova).

Il progetto di ricombattere la battaglia di Bunker Hill e la Guerra d’Indipendenza americana è a buon punto. L’ordine di battaglia inglese è quasi completo. A questo ho aggiunto anche altre unità utili a rigiocare altre battaglie della guerra.

Per gli americani mi sono organizzato diversamente. Le truppe americane a Bunker Hill erano quasi tutte della milizia e senza uniformi, ma ho deciso di creare una serie di reggimenti che hanno combattuto in varie fasi della guerra, scegliendo quelli con le uniformi più interessanti o che hanno combattuto un maggior numero di battaglie.

Tutti i pezzi sono stati dipinti dal bravo Luca Onesti (Strategianova).
