Friday games fun

 Over the last two Fridays we have played a 28mm ACWgame at my friend’s house. The rules,  the battle-

Last week we began with the Union Brigades marching along a turnpike-

In the woods the Confederates had set an ambush….

And that was where we left it due to time constraints. Yesterday began with the ambushing troops opening fire-

It was all over quite quickly with good confederate shooting combined with bad morale checks by both Union  commanders. A enjoyable game and good company, who could ask for more?
