Mountain Lard - Sharp Practice Game

Coming up in April, there is an event in North Carolina called Mountain Lard. I am going to be able to go. I would like to play some games while I am there but I thought I might run a game of Sharp Practice. I am looking at running the Battle of Horseshoe Bend that also happened in that state in 1781. The battle is a rather small one that occured on a house on a small hill amidst some fields. Over the weekend, I have been working on my Militia troops to rebase them. I have them all rebased now with texture on the small bases and they just need some flock. The movement trays is the tricky part. The figures still need to fit in the movement trays. I primed the trays black and then painted the tops. I need to add some sand and flock to the tops of the movement trays still. I figure just a couple of hours of work is left to get these ready for the game. After that, I need some kind of markerson the bases to signify which troop types are which to help the players. That and review what other things I need. (Unloaded, Shock and the like. I really don't have enough casualty figures. I have a few but never enough.

Once all of the figures are sorted out, I am going to cull through my terrain collection to attempt to sort out if I have what I need. I think I do. Most of the battle is over open fields. The house in the center of the table is the focal point of the battle where the defenders are hiding.

I am thinking about making some filler spots for when losses are raking on the movement trays. I had printed a bunch of tricorn hats from the Henry Turner miniatures that I bought. Gluing these to a stand and dropping it in the empty spots when a casualty is taken. This is the lowest priority on my list at the moment. This should be a fun event.
