Hi
Ok well this is the game at last .
Cheers AL:
GETTYSBURG JULY 2ND LEE`S RIGHT HOOK
Looking up the wheat field road towards the emittsburg road
The `Devils Den` and the triangle
The `Devils Den` the triangle with the Timbers farm and Rose woods
Rose farm
Rose farm
The Timbers farm
Looking at the Wentz farm from Pitzers woods
Looking south down the Emittsburg road
The Wentz farm and the Peach Orchard
The Wheat Field
The Stoney Hill
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROBERTSON`s 3rd Ark and 1st Tx peel off towards Smith`s troublesome guns above the `Devils Den`
Smith`s guns take heavy casualties from counter battery fire
The 124th NY brace there selves
The 114thPa at the Wentz farm listen worryingly to the sound of battle to there left rear?
GRAHAM checks his deployment in the `Peach Orchard`
ANDERSONS Georgians double quick into Rose Woods
Georgians cross the Rose Farm
SWEITZER and TILTON (VCORPS) as promised take up position on the `Stoney Hill`
ANDERSON crashes into DE TROBRIAND
Winslows battery shell the woods above BENNING`s advancing Georgians
The `Gun Line` connecting SWEITZER to GRAHAM
BIRNY inspects his Divisions positions
ROBERTSON now with support from BENNING pushes to take the end of `Houck Ridge`
LAW`s 44th Ala push up through the Saddle `The Slaughter Pen`
KERSHAW`s South Carolinians cross the corn field at the double
DE TROBRIAND`s Brigade collapses and fall back into `Trostle Woods`
The `Gun Line` start to engage KERSHAW
The Battery at the `Peach Orchard` fall back because of there open left flank.
KERSHAW attacks the `Gun Line`
Part of DE TROBRIAND`s Brigade starts to fall back through the `Wheat Field`
Wislow`s battery in the `Wheat field` gets some support from the 17th Me as CALDWELL`s Division starts to arrive and as the Rebs
make another push.
TILTON and SWEITZER`s lines collapse and retreat across the `Wheatfield` road
The line now unravelling causes Winslow`s battery to retire as CROSS KELLY and ZOOK prepare to advance.
ZOOK manages to stem the tide on the right flank in front of the `Stoney Hill` and CROSS also holds on the left flank `Houck Ridge`
but Kelly is routed in the centre.
The game finished there as the Confederate objective was to get troops onto the last three `Wheatfield road` boards and almost perfectly it was on the last turn of the day!!
CHEERS FOR LOOKING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DON`T HESITATE TO ASK.

Unbelievable! I have visited the battlefield and this layout really helps my visualization of July 2 1863. I'll keep visiting this post for inspiration. The figures look great too. What material did you use to "grass" the boards - carpet? What rules did you use?
-
Splendid, absolutely splendid :-* :-* :-*

The boards are covered in teddy bear fur, its what I`m known for the most,from all the layouts I`ve created in the past.
Rules are Dave Bickley`s fast play.

Its the teddy fur but not shaved as low as the surrounding grass and then as with the whole layout air brushed to taste (colourwise).

A stunning looking game, visually it has everything :-*

What unrivaled excellence!
Tell us how to do the terrain - what color was the fur when you bought it, how did you paint it, what colors, etc? Notes about trimming it down? Where did you buy it?
-
That is one good looking game.
