Featuring well over 1,800 soldiers, cavalry, artillery, commanders, terrain, rules, and accessories, this core box provides two substantial opposing forces for recreating the struggle between the British Crown and Continental revolutionaries.

Using Warlord Games' Epic Battles 13.5mm scale, Revolution! allows enormous regiments to maneuver across the tabletop while keeping the battlefield manageable.

The American Revolution in Epic Scale

The American War of Independence saw British regulars, Hessian auxiliaries, colonial militia, Continental troops, Native American warriors, riflemen, cavalry, and artillery fight across dramatically different battlefields.

The smaller Epic Battles scale allows players to represent these engagements with appropriately large formations.

Rather than having a handful of models represent an entire regiment, hundreds of soldiers can march across the battlefield together, creating the visual spectacle of massed 18th-century warfare.

British & Allied Forces

The suggested British army composition includes:

• 8 Mounted British Commanders

• 6 Standard British Line Infantry Regiments – 480 soldiers

• 1 Small British Line Infantry Regiment – 60 soldiers

• 2 Standard British Militia Regiments – 160 soldiers

• 1 Small British Light Company Regiment – 15 skirmishing soldiers

• 2 Tiny British Cavalry Regiments – 10 cavalry

• 1 Tiny Hessian Jäger Regiment – 10 skirmishing soldiers

These forces provide a varied collection of regular troops, elite Grenadiers, German auxiliaries, light troops, cavalry, and artillery.

Continental Forces
