Union Regiment Number Twelve

Today sees the completion of the twelfth Union infantry regiment of the ACW project.


There is one more Union and two Confederate regiments to go.

On Sunday we played a Spanish Civil War game, the first full all day game since lockdown ended (although we did play one game during level three when we were allowed to gather in groups of up to ten). It was great to catch up with every one again. My friend Keith did a great job recording the event and I you can read his report here. I will simply add a batch of photos from my side of the table.


The Italians ready to advance.


The Condor Legion fighter enters the fray


Our Spanish Allies on the other side of the table advance.


Avanti! The Italians surge forward


The enemy is entrenched along the railway embankment


The Panzer I’s of the Condor Legion prepare to attack the railway line


And after clearing the infantry from behind the rail line they overrun a field gun, leaving only a mangled mess of metal behind


Finally we have taken the railway line, but our armour is all lost and we can push no further. The game ends.

  2. What a lovely looking game. You are prolific on the ACW regiment painting and putting my pottering around to shame!

    1. Thanks Norm. My painting has slowed down though...I think I have painted too many ACW figures.

    1. Thanks Stu. We have had a bit of a set back here - after 23 days without infections we now have two more!

  7. A very nice addition, and an equally nice-looking game. I enjoyed Keith's account as well, although he did focus a little more on his senoritas.

    1. Truth be known, I didn’t even get to the other side if the table to see the senoritas!
