My lads get ready to push, very slowly, through the orchard

Lots of fun on Saturday as we exchanged Napoleonic Wargaming for the American Civil War on our monthly Gamesday. Not a lot of descriptions at present other than it was a hard fought victory of a minor nature to the Union forces whilst the Confederacy managed to hold off the enemy long enough to extricate the main army a few miles to the west. Great job on the design Marty and troops on the board from all our collections.

At the start of the battle we had random entry points and brigades delayed from arriving until the correct dice were thrown. My division saw three brigades all arrive upon the same entry point causing a road block of the worst kind if you were wearing grey on the day. |

Thanks so much Stokes
DeleteEverything looks gorgeous! Great fun. But there are two things that I find jarring;
ReplyDeleteThere is a lovely looking barn on the table but it’s not red, and I’m sure it’s an international rule that all barns are red.
The rules are black powder but I clearly see RFF unit labels on the figures so it gets me so confused!
😀. Those are just silly jokes of course.
Cheers Stew. If it was my barn it would have been green😅.
DeleteIt’s been so long since I’ve had my ACW lads out they still had their labels on them from McPhersons Ridge! Good spotting mate.
An impressive looking game Carlo..
ReplyDeleteAnd your meeting up with people at a wargames club...
I’m not actually allowed to meet myself in the UK at the moment...😱😂
All the best. Aly

Thanks so much Aly
DeleteLovely troops and table!
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter as always greatly appreciated.
DeleteThose troops are superbly painted, nice looking game Carlo
ReplyDeleteThanks once again Kerry as your kind comments always are appreciated.
DeleteGreat looking game Carlo—apart from Cookie spoiling a couple of the photos! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, good to see such a strong turn-out for the day too.
Regards, James
I know James! He is always in the way 😉.
DeleteYes it was great to see so many turn out and as Aly mentioned in the earlier comment, we are so fortunate in Western Australia.
