Atules Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hello, I will be moving to Portland in two weeks and curious if anyone knows any groups playing Black Powder. I have the book and some miniatures but never had a chance to use them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atules Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Cool, what time period do you play? I have a bunch of AWI figs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselowe Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm interested in it, but probably only in 15mm. No figures at this time. (I'd be happy to play with someone else's figures, of course!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atules Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Well, you are in luck. I have 15mm AWI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesselowe Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well, you are in luck. I have 15mm AWI! Oh, really... Hm. I really don't need another project at the moment, but I have terrible willpower to resist such... What do you have at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atules Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have two armies. American and British. Off the top of my head I can't remember how many but it should be enough to start a game. All infantry and a mix of light inf, grenadiers, line infantry, and a few militia. I've never played black powder but I do have a lot of stuff. Talking about commitment.

If you are looking for 15mm i use https://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com I like them a lot but i'm not an expert at 15mm so you may find something better!

Atules Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just got into portland and here is what i have: Americans 39 stands of regular inf 15 stands of light inf 15 stands of militia British 50 stands of regular inf 10 stands of light inf 15 stands of grenadiers Hopefully that is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size stands do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atules Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I use the command stands from FoW and place 4 15mm size men on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselowe Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Recommended frontage for a standard Black Powder unit in 15mm is 120mm to 160mm; a FoW small base is 32mm x 25mm. Assuming you have the figures facing the long end of the base, you could use five bases per unit for a frontage of 160mm... Very neat. So that would be: Americans 8 units regular inf 3 units of light 3 units of militia British 10 units of regulars 2 units of light 3 units of grenadiers Should be plenty for a starting game...

Atules Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Awesome! Yeah, i have them facing the long end. Want to get together and try this out? I have no idea where the best place to play is. Got any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselowe Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Awesome! Yeah, i have them facing the long end. Want to get together and try this out? I have no idea where the best place to play is. Got any suggestions? Guardian Games (345 SE Taylor, on MLK) is far and away the biggest game store in town. (They also have a bar in the back.) The other place I usually hit is Red Castle Games (6406 SE Foster), which is more convenient if you're in southeast Portland. If you can make it, I can do Thursday night starting at 6 or Saturday anytime at Guardian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atules Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I can do the Guardian on Saturday. How about 12? Do I need to bring terrain or anything? I have a few houses for FoW stuff but thats about it. By the way, my name is Peter. Nice to meet you! Or will meet you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselowe Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 There should be adequate terrain there. I'm Jesse, and I'll probably be back in the bar chatting with the Firestorm Armada guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
