I'm going to give the African rules another go this week, a 6 player game with a Brigade each. I think we'll get a fast-play game done in the evening with an ACW feel. If not, we won't do it again.

Got the armies ready today.

Okay, Hands up.  ::) The Bull Run project hit the wall. I've lost the painting bug. The good news is the units I have painted have been playing loads games.

I never planned to paint the 79th New York (Highland) Volunteer Regiment, they are on Kev Dallimore painting desk for North Star and the first pictures came through today.

Looking good.

Their tartans are one of the finest job I've seen!  :-*

Great work, I'd love to do something for 1st Bull Run but in 6mm. My Google fu has failed me as I can find OOBs but not one with the number of men per regiment or the number of companies even.....any help would be appreciated

Haven't popped in for a while.  Like the photos of the two division sized forces.  That's a good size for a game that can have as many as three players per side and not be overwhelming. 

Nice collection.  It will grow.  They always seem to.  The little buggers have meetings while we sleep and convince our subconscious we must have more.  I'm sure that's it.   :D

Flags of War have just produced this 28mm flag for the 79th New York Highlanders. Brilliant. Kev is going to finish off the 79th as a regiment, I'll post pics when he's done.

My enthusiasm for painting hasn't resurfaced, but I really want to finish off this Bull Run project, so I've got Artmaster on the job to to complete the Stonewall Brigade.

Here's the 2nd Virginia Regiment. All Perry Miniatures.

The flag is really cool. It's the original 2nd Virginia flag, and with a bit of photoshop magic, the photo of it turns into a 28mm flag. Thanks to Kev Dallimore for that.

My painting bug hasn't returned, but these Bull Run Rebs have been battling away on the tabletop, or at least they were until the Coronavirus put an end to our fun.

Your Mojo did sterling work while it lasted Nic, and you got  Mark Sims to expand his ACW range, so that's a win for everyone  ;)
