Now that's a good looking game.  Nice figs and terrain.

FYI, if you ever get the chance, it's a good battlefield to visit.  Of course, which one isn't? 8)

Yes, Stones River is a finely preserved field. Which one isn't? Any where the historical markers are on traffic islands across from the used car lot.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Well, there is that.  Seen plenty of those, and similarly situated markers.  At least there's a marker - better than nothing I suppose.

Any battlefield in the UK with the sole exception of Culloden, for starters...  lol

Well, this may be semantics, but I did say "good to visit", not "well-preserved"...

I've been lucky enough to visit a few battlefields in the UK (Culloden, Stirling Bridge, Bannockburn, and Killicrankie, all in Scotland), and Culloden is indeed the best of the 4 in terms of preservation and interpretation!

But, of course, none of that changes your splendid game and report... :D

Read through the AAR.  Huzzah for the boys in blue!  Very fast read for so much to report - will probably read agin a little slower.

Pity about the issue with tables and the joins - such challenges mess with our plans but, still, the show must go on and yours did quite well.

Now, what we all want to see is a photo or seven of the game that out-did yours for first place.  It must have been something special.

Cheers fellas!  :D

The winner was good.  It was a very nice 28mm F&IW game and can be seen at the bottom of JJ's blog-post here: https://jjwargames.blogspot.com/2021/11/warfare-2021-wargames-association-of.html

Well, that FIW game is rather nice.  And thanks for the link.  Yours is still top drawer.  Might be the lighting but maybe for the next outing, a bit of dry brushing on the roads will improve what is already danged good.
