Battle of Antietam 1862, The Cornfield. 15mm Fire & Fury.
« on: August 01, 2017, 10:46:20 AM »
Friday night at New Buckenham Historical Wargamers saw six of us sit down for a game of Fire & Fury in 15mm based of the Battle of Antietam in 1862, specifically the fight for the cornfield near the Dunker church. This was one of a series of warm up games planned before a refight of the whole battle latter this year. Once again Richard provided a great game with lots of historical commentary thrown in. A few photos follow with more info on my blog Jabba's Wargaming
