AWI Continental Staff and Townspeople

After seventeen months I have finally completed the last of my AWI figures with ten Continental staff and camp, and eight townspeople. The staff are a mixture of Perry and Front Rank to provide a but more variety, even though the Front Rank figures appear much better fed alongside their Perry counterparts:



















I have ended up with two George Washingtons, one of them the Perry figure which comes with three boxes of plastic Continentals, and the other a more solid Front Rank figure:



















Rather annoyingly, I have also ended up with two Benedict Arnold figures and three instead of the four Front Rank ADC figures I actually ordered, but I suppose he did switch sides so I can potentially field both of them:



















Here are the remainder of the Front Rank ADCs:



















And some Perry mounted officers:



















I individually based some leftover foot figures in the hope they might come in useful in a few Sharp Practice games:



















I also completed some Perry AWI civilians, an interesting mix of figures:





































And a camp vignette:





































The final count for the project came out as:

British:    595 foot and mounted figures
                60 horses
                11 artillery pieces

Hessians: 179 foot and mounted figures
                3 horses
                2 artillery pieces

Continentals:    498 foot and mounted figures
                          28 horses
                          6 artillery pieces

All up, 1272 foot and mounted figures, 91 horses, 19 artillery pieces and 8 wagons. Now to get them on to the table for a few solo games of British Grenadier, hopefully followed by some Monday evening Sharp Practice games.
