This weekend Dave Imrie and I arranged a game for a subset of our AB1 group and a group of visiting Australian wargamers. The venue was the Kingswood Hotel in Burntisland Fife. It was another fictional AWI game – the Battle of Red Clay Creek – adapted from our previous fictional action the Battle of Germanwine.
I used almost the same OB as Germanwine but we added a further 4ft of width to the table and simplified the rules for fording the creek. To speed up the setup time and remove the pregame player input I used chance (a pack of cards) to deploy the units and also allocate the players to a command. We used Black Powder with my house rules and 66% movement and ranges. 16-20 figure infantry units were standard units and 10-12 figure units small.
