Well these 6mm Baccus Union Miniatures were painted a few years ago but I based them for the Baccus Civil War rules, which I did not like much but at the time they were all that was out there. Now I have read through Altar of Freedom, which I think is a very good set of rules for fighting large battle from the US Civil War.
So what do I have?
I have 4 batteries of Artillery, 1 Brigade of Infantry and a Brigade of Cavalry. Yes in these rules a Brigade is the maneuver element and the players take the role of the Corps and Army Commanders.
I am hoping to finish up enough figures to fight Bull Run before Midsummer here in Sweden. We will see if I can get everything painted up in time. Then I will use these rules with the Columbia Games Board Game, Bobby Lee, to do a Civil War Campaign.
Lets see how this goes.
Enjoy the pictures!
To me, brigade-sized BMUs make perfect sense for large scale ACW gaming especially in 6mm.
ReplyDeleteNice looking troops!
Thank you Jonathan!
DeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe need some more ACW playing at the club. Check out your private messages on the forum =)
Thank you Ulf! I sent you some of the info you requested. I agree it will be great to fight a historic battle at the club. I have more Infantry on the paint table.
DeleteHope the rules work out for you, good work on the figs too

HI Ian,
DeleteThank you! I like the rules. I have not found any other that work well with 6mm. Do you know of any other rules that are Grand Tactical Scale?
Terrific job at this scale!
