There is some cavalry (you would only need a dozen or less per side). It is more colorful than the American Civil War. The effective weapon ranges are shorter, so the smaller table size is not such a problem. The terrain is restricted, again helping with the smaller table. There were a lot of small battles in the American War of Independence, so it is more "realistic." You have more unit types, Light Infantry, Line infantry, Grenadiers, Militia units, British, French, Colonial, Rebel Militia, Tory Militia, Hessians, Native Americans, Light Cavalry in various colors, lots of interesting flags. And, Front Rank makes a great 40mm AWI range of figures. Captain Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258683012806342747noreply@blogger.com
