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-

General view of the battlefield.
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?
A nice looking table. Good to see the Blue Bellies getting a licking.

ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun, personally, I don't think I would have enjoyed playing the Union....the outcome seemed pretty much a forgone conclusion !
