Song of Drums and Kepis AAR - Assault the Farm Scenario

[Captain Darling]

Last Monday we continued the ACW theme with another skirmish game using the Song of Drums and Kepis Rules.

The Union played a delaying strategy believing the Rebs would come straight down the road and across the bridge, also a couple of privates were dispatched across the ford to threaten the Southerners flank but they held their nerve and kept together and pressed their attack! The Confederates planned to capture the bridge destroy the isolated Yankees in the open then assault the farm!

For a couple of turns the Yankee skirmishers held the Confederates on the bridge and that proved to be crucial for the game, it allowed the Union Marksman time to inflict three important casualties on the Rebs unfortunately he was wounded and taken out of action seeking a fourth hit! At this point the three surviving Union skirmishers ran for the farm and the two privates feigning an attack on the Rebs flank also returned to the defensive position.

The Yanks appeared to have the advantage being in cover and more men but a gratuitous kill from a Reb hit sent several conscripts fleeing. Taking this opportunity the Rebs pressed the defender, but just a few good shots from the Farm's defenders inflicted just enough losses on the Southerners to break them!

A Northern Victory, but only just!

The Rebs take the bridge!

Great AAR, interesting figures, who makes 'em?

 

[Captain Darling]

Thanks Harry!

Figures wise the CSA are mainly Perry Plastics with a smattering of Perry metal figures and for the USA most again are Perry Plastics with a few 1st Corps metal miniatures.

Cheers!
