Today on Little Wars TV we commemorate the 250th anniversary of Bunker Hill with a spectacular miniature wargame played at the Army Heritage & Education Center in Carlisle. Can our British players devise a new strategy to dislodge the rebels without suffering crippling casualties? Or will the stubborn colonials find a way to overcome a lack of centralized leadership and give King George a bloody nose?
We want to thank our hosts at AHEC, as well as veteran wargamer and Revolutionary War re-enactor Jim McGaughey for running the game. Jim built this fantastic tabletop and painted the 15mm armies you see in the video. He used the rules British Grenadier, a descendent of Andy Callan's brilliant 1987 classic, "Loose Files & American Scramble." Wargames Illustrated magazine just re-released Andy's old article with beautiful new illustrations and design notes. Better yet--they made it available for free!
Download a copy of the rules that went on to inspire so many others:
