From the publisher: Hold the Line, The American Revolution is an innovative collaboration between Worthington Publishing and The Plastic Soldier Company/PSC Games to reproduce and remaster some of Worthington Games original titles. Combining Clash for a Continent, the original Hold the Line, plus new original scenarios into one comprehensive Revolutionary War game, Hold the Line, The American Revolution will take players from the towns of Lexington and Concord to the shores of Yorktown. Using 200 beautifully sculpted 20mm (1/72nd scale) miniature figures moulded in robust semi-hard plastic, off the sprue and ready to play from the box (apart from putting the wheels on the cannons!) representing American and British Infantry, Dragoons, Leaders, Flag Bearers, Artillery and Militia; players will be able to refight over 18 battles of the American Revolution with a stretch goal adding 13 more. The game includes 200 custom plastic figures in seven different unique sculpts. Each player will command 44 Infantry, 20 Militia, 20 Flag Bearers, 8 Artillery, 6 Dragoons, and 2 Leaders. British and American Infantry each have distinctly different sculpts to enhance your experience within the game. These are very large 22mm or larger game pieces. They have been designed to have large stable bases for game play. All figures arrive individual and bagged. There are no plastic trees and sprues.
