First Edition Muskets and Tomahawks for the Forty Five

 Yesterday Ronnie came round for a game and brought his Jacobite figures. He had rebased them individually for the event. I had played M&T for ages but as Celine Dion might have said it’s all coming back to me now. Playing the game ( we had two games actually) was great fun and ended in a Government victory for Ronnie. 

Having just bought second edition I have two sets , which seem a lot  different from each other, around in my head at the same time. I remedied that by sending off yesterday afternoon for the FIW supplement and cards plus markers. I will devote myself to the new edition l think. The first edition gave great fun over many years and periods. Anyway enough chat now the photos-

  1. Thanks for a splendid day, Alan.
    And a mention for Graham Cummings' Musket and Targe amendments which we got from The Wargamers' Annual Summer Special 2016.

    1. My pleasure, looking forward to our next game with a greater variety of troop types on the tabletop.

  2. Looks like a great game and the second to last pic suggests the Givernment forces did not have it all their own way!

  8. Nice looking game Alan. Funnily enough, I've just started collecting the 45 in 54mm. I'm going to use the 'Jacobite Rising' Command and Colours game, having played two scenarios with Mike Lewis' copy and really getting the right period feel with the rules.
