Title: ACW 1865, Somewhere in the East, 15mm Fire & Fury
Post by: Jabba on 18 December 2017, 12:42:14 PM
Friday night at New Buckenham Historical Wargamers saw the inaugural game put on by one of the newer club members. In this case a fictional ACW encounter in 15/18mm using the original Fire and Fury rules with club tweaks.

The scenario saw the confederates, having suffered a defeat off table, trying to extricate several artillery batteries from the clutches of the chasing union troops. They had to get them over a river, via a single bridge, to a waiting transport train with three divisions of infantry in support. The union team had four divisions of infantry with limited artillery support to stop them.

Lovely looking set up and one of my favourite sets of rules - what’s not to like  :)

Okay, first, I have to ask - do you war game in a hut?   lol

Second, pretty pictures!  My cup of scale (or size for the knot-heads, not-a-scale-heads.).

Only a couple of command stands so far, the rest belong to another club member. Just starting on the ones I got from you.
