ACW battle of Seven Pines Day 1 in 6mm
« on: November 10, 2019, 07:39:22 PM »
This is the ACW battle of Seven Pines Day 1 taken from the Fire & Fury Great Eastern Battles Scenario Book but using Guns at Gettysburg rules. As each unit represented a brigade a few tweaks had to be made to the rules, mainly around formations and command & control. Day 2 will be played next with 1/2 casualties carried over. A full AAR is on my blog including more photos.Figures are Baccus 6mm.

That looks awesome!

The visual effect reminds me of those American Heritage books, with their overhead battlefield paintings.

In 6mm I have seen the most beautiful table setups! And here is one of the best!
