We have several contributions on the workbenches today for our upcoming Cahokia Project Event at The St. Charles CountynHeritage Museum on Saturday October 19, 2024 10am -4pm.
First we see some 25mm Native Americans that are preparing to take on the defending settlers as part of Burt Campbell’s Black Powder Game. Watch out for that tomahawk!
Dave Schaffner gives us a glimpse at his worktable as the troops muster in for his Raid on Le Petite Fort Skirmish game that will use Muskets & Tomahawks rules.
Here we see the enlarged game map for the 3D version of the “Attack on Cahokia” game being produced by Pat Lewis. This will be a 6″x4′ version of the game designed by Steve Kling and produced by The Historical Game Company.
In order for the “Attack on Cahokia” to be a 3D game we need miniatures and here are some that Harry Borschardt is currently working on to muster into service. These are 15mm Old Glory miniatures that will represent the local militia and civilians who were in the area.
Greg Dieckhaus is assisting the project with his 3D printer creating cabins that will represent the numerous buildings and farm houses that will be needed on the map.
Bob Alsop’s current work on the Illinois Militia
The Cahokia Project is an effort by a group of volunteer Game Masters and other contributors to present multiple games using a variety of rules sets, miniature scales and scenarios based upon the Attack on Cahokia which took place on May 26, 1780 as part of the British incursion into the area during the American War of Independence.
