WIP: The Battle of Gaines' Mill
« on: October 08, 2018, 07:06:21 PM »
I was introduced to the ACW this past July and volunteered to build the hills for The Battle of Gaines' Mill. The minis that will be used are 15mm, rules are Brigade Fire and Fury.

Inital phase:


The hills as they stand currently:

Looking good  :-*

Nice to see terrain being built for specific battles.

Thank you Mindenbrush.  :)

The hills are done.. mostly. Just two more small ones, as both are on the periphery of the battle they are not that important; as far as I can tell the only way they will be a factor is if someone flees over them ::).




More pictures and the usual yackety-yak on my blog.

The last two hills are completed for this project. Much smaller than the others, I based them on MDF which I wish I had done for the others.

15m Numidian cavary for scale purposes as I have no ACW (in any scale).
