Club Video - Antietam
« on: July 18, 2018, 12:23:31 AM »
My club in York Pennsylvania has just released a line of free videos mixing history with wargaming. I wanted to share this one that deals with Antietam with the community. Let us know what you think. If you like, please subscribe.

Nicely done.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Great video. Another new subscriber to that channel!
I may have also bought the ruleset off Lulu. Sounds interesting!

I met Keith last Saturday at Historicon, and visited Antietam on Sunday! Excellent video.

That was really fun to watch. I would have enjoyed even more coverage of the wargame itself. I’ll certainly watch more in the future.
Enjoying the game is ALWAYS more important than winning the game.

It was a pleasure to meet and chat with you Nick! I enjoyed talking about some of the interesting differences in the hobby between the US and the UK. And thanks for playing in a demo of Disposable Heroes II!

No worries, good to meet you after all these years and to get a refresh on playing DH II. Kicking myself I didn't take a picture for the Faceache page.

That is most excellent! I like how you combine history and wargaming - and all that in a very entertaining way. I'll be watching for more of your videos.

Btw, I've recently started using Altar of Freedom for my 2mm ACW project and I like the rules very much.

I snapped a few pics of the game (I think!). I'll send you a PM via FB.

Glad to see you guys got to see so many great battlefields while you were here.

I'm still blown away by how close those Georgians were that were firing down into Burnside's Bridge. Makes you really appreciate how much of a fish in the barrel those Union troops were that crossed there... and they still managed to force a crossing.
