Some photos from the battle:

US Command eagerly prepares to pounce on the CSA army
CSA batteries on center hill....never fired a shot!
So - game 3 of the campaign is complete, with the campaign hanging in the balance for the CSA. I think Confederate paper money is likely at an all time low.....
Great looking game
ReplyDeleteGood looking game! Nifty computer generated map too. What did you use to create it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table and troops, Brent!
ReplyDeleteSo what accounted for the ndrubbing the Southerners took? Outnumbered? Lack of cover? Cold Dice? Poor battle plan? All the above?
I created the map in PowerPoint, and then saved it as a ppt as well as jpg. This is 5 games in a row that the CSA has had their hat handed to them. Some bad luck, some poor decisions (attacking cover), lack of artillery/use of artillery, bad battlefields for their plans, ....pretty much anything and everything!
ReplyDeleteRead Greg's AAR, which explains the defeat in more detail as well!
DeleteNice looking game with splendid figures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic looking game. I love the look of the miniatures. Inspiring post!
