G troop is in trouble
« on: July 20, 2021, 05:50:57 PM »
Hi Folks

The second of our Plains War skirmishes was fought last week in the shed. Suitably called G troop is in trouble. All the details on the blog

Hope this of interest

Looks like a great game.
I've always enjoyed your blog.

Nice to see you back in the saddle and playing games Giles
The first picture really bring home to me how scary it would have been to move through such vast empty, you hope, terrain with your small troop of friends :o

Nice looking game.  Tough day to be a cav trooper...'tis a good day to die, apparently...

As a side note, I had a nth-great uncle in the 4th US Cavalry chasing Commanches in the early 1870s.  Naturally, these kinds of games always remind me of him...

Excellent Giles, why the hex bases? For movement?

Cheers

Excellent scenario. Seemed to be very challenging but not straying from the reality of drawn in and cut off troops. Excellent blog.
