It has been slow around here for the last few months as work has kept me quite busy. Despite this I have been tinkering away with gaming the Battle of Hubbardton and turning it into the video below rather than a demonstration game for The Other Partizan. I've learned quite a lot in doing this and have moved forward from my first iMovie experiments presenting Freeman's Farm at Partizan in the Cloud. While this really is not the same as putting on a real game at a real show, it's probably as good as things are going to get for a while, so I hope you like it!
Absolutely superb work, and very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this.
Best Blog post on the internet for years.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful production.
Beautifully painted miniatures and excellent terrain.
Thank you for sharing your hobby.

Greta work! Looking forward to the battle.
ReplyDeleteSteve have just watched through while painting some Virginia state troops....but I had to keep stopping ! Absolutely brilliant production, great to see your collection in action. The effort you have put in was well worth it. Personally as said above it is the best post I have seen for a very long time 👍👍👍 I am already looking forward to the next one. I really like your historical approach but obviously balanced with an overall aesthetic. Whilst I have been missing shows you production is actually better as you get to see the whole battle and much more interesting and personal explanation. Can’t thank you enough very inspirational 😀
ReplyDeleteThat's some excellent work Steve! I really like the added sound effects in addition to the layout and explanation. Very inspirational!

Fantastic Steve! Your blog and now videos are a great inspiration for the AWI. My collection is for the southern campaigns.....but this is tempting me to Saratoga. Many thanks.

Best telly! Thanks for putting this together, hugely enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGreat watch. Thanks for doing it. Would like to see the rules in action to better understand how they work.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a awesome job you did on that video....Excellent terrain and figures too. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteFantastic presentation,. Really enjoyed it. Would love to see a few other battles covered.
ReplyDeleteReally fun and informative presentation; I particularly enjoyed the fife and drum music as well as the sound effects; these greatly added to the atmosphere. Nicely painted figures as well. What more could you ask for?
ReplyDeleteReally great work! The table is lovely, and fairly accurate. I live roughly 15 minutes from the battlefield, and take part in annual reenactments of the battle as part of Warner's (recreated) Regiment.
ReplyDeleteSmall detail that wouldn't affect the game: The Selkirk cabin would have been turned 90 degrees. The cellar hole still exists.
If you ever decide to repaint Warner's, we believe they may have worn green faced red regimentals, similar to the Jaegers. We know for sure that's what was ordered for them, but we don't know for sure if they were issued. Apparently the quartermaster at the time had a habit of selling supplies to supplement his own income. ��
Hi Elroy
ReplyDeleteI did paint that version of Warner’s regiment back in 2019,

However there was a good reason that I didn’t use them in the game. I just can’t remember for sure what it was! But I know it wasn’t an oversight.
Living only a few short miles from the actual battlefield I found this a great video. I am putting together a Hubbardton scenario myself and this will be a great help. Going to try with "land of the free" rules (maybe live free or die rules). Your blog is a great inspiration!
