Well yesterday we had a game at the club. I wont' go into many details as Jesper over at The Miniature Mayhem did an AAR for the game!
BLUF: great fun and a tough fight for the Union. It was close run but the Confederates were able to fix and flank the Union position.
Enjoy the pictures!!!

Terrific game table and equally great photos. An impressive Reb victory.
ReplyDeleteNice "Limbered" marker. Is that home made or a commercial item?
Hi Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking at the blog!!! Yes it was a great victory for the Confederates! I just brought myself and my Iphone 4 to the game. All the miniatures are from members of the club. It was a fun game. We are planning more big battles in the future. I am not sure where they got the marker from, I think it is a commercial item.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great pics Mark - and what a game! I have seldom seen someone roll so incredibly well, and still loose;0) But, I admit it was nice to finally see a Southern victory, with Johnston surviving the game too. I'm sure Jesper will be back with more excellent scenarios soon, plus I have a "what if Stonewall survived Chancellorsville" scenario for Gettysburg. More to come in other words...
ReplyDeleteThe Pictures are great Mark! The limbered marker is bought from Warbases. There will be more scenarios. Chickamagua will be my next scenario project, at least for ACW.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tremendous game, the images are fabulous, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous looking game!

Fantastic looking game. Fixing up my collection after kicking it over when moving house. So jealous of your set up!
