CapnJim's ACW Stuff - Valverde Scenario and Test Figures - Pg. 3 - 23 Apr 24.

 Thanks.  I find assigning cavalry carbines to all the Confederates to be a bit odd.  I've read about the campaign and the battle.  It seems the CS troops had a mix of weapons, smoothbore muskets, rifled muskets and shotguns.   Not much in the way of carbines.  Most of them were mounted infantry.  Do you think the CC is meant to reflect such a mix?

[CapnJim]

Yep.  The rules kinda say that.  I may tweak their firing stats a bit, though, to better reflect that.  We'll see.

And I've been to Fort Craig.  Couldn't get to the Valverde battlefield though.  The dirt road from the fort to the battlefield was too wet from then-recent rains.  It's all in the middle of nowhere...

Great write ups and interesting games, the trans-Mississippi is an interesting theatre in the civil war, thinking of going down this route with my collection.

Good man.  I didn't have any ancestors fight that far west, but I had 2 at Pea Ridge, in an Ohio artillery battery.

And work on the 5th Texas is proceeding slower than I had hoped.  Other obligations keep getting in the way...but, I'll soldier on.
