Title: Fistful of Lead: little Little Bighorn
Post by: BaronVonJ on February 03, 2017, 08:26:01 PM
This was a scaled down version of the last bit of the battle, featuring the iconic last stand of Custer (if he was even still alive at that point). Turned out to be great fun:

Best part is you can have the scenario for FREE at War-games Vault:

Enjoy!

Nice looking. Though I think you've scale it down too far to count it as a battle - just a skirmish on the same ground.  Not to worry, though, that explains why the village is on the wrong side of the river!   :D

We're having a game tomorrow and I was towing a bit as to what it should be. Stand by my dear Baron for Custard's Last Stand... with Big boys Toys!!!

Very cool! Been looking for something for my Weds night gaming group and this just might fill the bill.

One of the lads couldn’t make the game so we halved the figures, drew cards, and I got the 7th Cavalry. The Indians closed quickly heedless of casualties…
