First Battle of Bull Run 1861 - Fire & Fury

[Jemima Fawr]

A little while ago we played a scenario that we've been wanting to do for a long time; the First Battle of Bull Run (using 10mm figures and Fire & Fury 2nd Edition rules).  It was a very close-run thing and a great game!  The full game-report is on the blog:

Well now, that was a fight!  Beautiful report - nice looking minis, to boot!

Billy Yank's got his work cut out for him...

Thanks all!   

I must get some new rivers... What 25 years ago was the lovely transparent dark brown of a forest stream now looks like the outflow from a forgotten landfill-site.

Think spring run off, rivers often that color in some regions.  However, TimeCast has a great river system where you 'paint your own' so you can get whatever color you want.  Working on my own set - or will be after I get through the 250th anniversary game of Bunker Hill on workbench just now.  See my LAF workbench thread here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=149209.msg1920756#msg1920756. Pretty much every piece they make can be seen in the photos - if you look close enough.

Game looks great.  Though only looked at the LAF thread - for now.

No, just think Thames Water. Now gift yourself a large bonus. 

Lovely layout. Hard to believe those are 10mm figures.

Great looking game!
 
And for the next re-play don't forget to picnic like it's 1861.
