Our regular Sunday game was an American Civil War battle. The scenario had a Confederate force in position expecting an attack from one direction only to be surprised by an attack from another direction and having to reposition to face it.
I fought for the Union on this day and two us stood with a brigade each were to hold half the Confederates in place while four more Union brigades would strike - we were to be the anvil, them the hammer.
It was a very hard fought battle in which the Union prevailed.
And so to some photos, in random order…
Nick gave me a blow by blow account earlier this evening Mark, sounds like it was a bloody affair but a good game for all involved!
ReplyDeleteHe had more action at his end of the table that I did. I thought I had taken more images than I did.
DeleteMark, you guys certainly set up marvelous looking games. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe next game is a French and Indian War encounter and likely to spectacular.
DeleteNice game and figures as usual Mark. That farmstead in the first picture is particularly eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteThey are all buildings that I designed back in the 1980s and we cast up at Military Miniatures (including the outhouse), but not assembled and painted by me.
DeleteA nice looking game Mark and good to see the Union boys emerging victorious!
ReplyDeleteAnd especially so since I commanded a Union brigade!
DeleteGreat looking game Mark. Lovely photos.

DeleteI also got ‘pinged’ by the NHS Covid App… did the test…negative
Cases have been rising steadily in my area so I am going to play it safe… regardless of what the buffoons who (try to)run this country say.
Very wise to play it safe, this thing has a way to run yet.
