So are we going to continue with AWI or give Shane's new rule set a try? Shane said the new rule set the models should be on a single 20mm base. Also we do not need as many models. I have not glued all my minis to 40mm bases yet so I can do some on single bases. So what is the consensus, stay with AWI or try the new rule set?

Woah, hold tight! Don't do anything to change the bases, stick to the current plan and let's try to get a game of Black Powder soon.
Even if Sharp Practice is a viable alternative for smaller games, I would still figure out a way to make the models on our current bases work for it.

Oh no too late, I already cut up the bases into smaller ones After I posted this I was working on the models and forgot I had a bunch of skirmishers who are on single bases so I can probably get by with them. I think you said Sharp Practice uses much fewer models. Maybe this friday night we can all get together?

Randy, I have a bunch of 40mms, and I don't think I'll be able to use all of them. I should be able to give you some.

I was kidding, I didn't cut up my bases. Well actually I did, I make my own bases. Thanks for the offer though. We all need to get together and play. My skirmishers are itching to shoot some rebels.

I'm so confused, Randy!
Ok, I'm going to try and make myself available for an AWI game tomorrow night - how does that work for people? I can bring both sets of rules, but just know I only mentioned Sharp Practice as a possible option for us to play games with smaller forces, thus quicker than putting together massive armies for Black Powder.

Then work is done. I am free for tomorrow night. Anytime after 7:30. I am down on gamers gambit because it is very crowded and we only can use half a table. No where big enough for AWI. We can play at my house if you want. We can use our kitchen table.

I'm free today after 7.30 too. We can play at my place too if you like - there's a number of games we could take a look at!

Sounds awesome, Tom! DON'T BASE THEM YET! I want us to look at Sharp Practice before we commit - at least in the short term, it seems like a much more manageable goal to get 50ish figs ready for a large skirmish.

Any thoughts on playing AWI or Sharp Practice? I never modeled my Hessians and started working on them last night. My Red Coats are itching for a fight. I know we have the FoW release this weekend but lets not loose sight of this game.

YES. YES. YES. Randy, I want to play this as soon as possible, and I definitely think SP is the best option.
I ended up buying Continental forces too, so I have both sides at least primed and built for an AWI Sharp Practice game.
This Saturday may be tough with the FOW launch, but I'll bring everything just in case we get a moment to check it out. The following weekend I will be at Cold Wars in PA. This is a big priority for me, it will not fall off the radar.

Yes Saturday will be all about FoW but we can at least talk about AWI and/or SP.
