Figures game from a boardgame ACW
« on: 30 May 2023, 06:48:06 AM »
I have been playing Worthington Publishings recent Seven Days game and had put up the Beaver Dam Creek and Gaines Mill scenarios to play.

Today, I played the next scenario, which combines those two battles into a 25 turn game.

During play, I took a slice of action of when Gregg and Branch attacked Martindale and put it up on the figures table.

There is an AAR and some brief observations up on my blog for those interested in these sort of cross-over games. LINK

Interesting.  I've not done it the way you did, but I have dabbled in converting boardgames into minis games.  I have used Across Five Aprils for maps and OOBs for at least one ACW fight (Elkhorn Tavern), and converted Rebels and Redcoats into a minis game that I used and played several times...
