.......or the game of 6 bloggers!
Last Sunday and the day after Salute the Rejects put on a 15mm ACW game using Fire and Fury rules (otherwise known to me as Fire and Furious Anger rules) for 3 other bloggers, the battle was a hypothetical one set in Salutesville 1862 (Posties idea and game). So there were 7 players (the seventh was next door neighbour Jack who had gamed with us before and Postie umpiring) and a massive game with a lot of figures and divisions on the table and reinforcements arriving on lucky dice rolling!
I was in and out at the beginning of the game and near lunch while I was keeping an eye on lunch! There are several posts of the game and can be seen on other blogs!
So some eye candy and brief explanations mostly with what went on with my side and 5 brigades of McClaws 3rd division South Carolina boys!
The Union boys, Ray, Curt and Seb....
The Confederates, BigLee, Tamsin, Jack and the guy behind the camera.....
South Carolina's finest.......
Deployed for battle, you had to roll to see how far they deployed on......
Union forces await......
Robert E.Lee makes an appearance......
BigLee advancing on my flank.....
Tamsin fighting in the centre.......
Lunch........
Trying to knock the Union off a hill, this did not go well.......
Disordered and out of ammo markers, we used a lot of these.....
More Union forces advance.....
Union cavalry reinforcements arriving...too late though but bastards if they dismount in a good position....
Ray gets a little too close.....
The ongoing battle......
2 Confederate brigades heading back to reorganise.....
Tamsin in the centre....
Union artillery, far better than Confederate made it's point all day....
Hood's Texas boys doing some wood clearing......
BigLee trying to make a breakthrough.....
This is now way to be attacked.....
The last action of the game, hitting them in the flank....
Contractual Postie shot, I think I went a bit David Bailey....
A victory for the Confederacy 19-13 when the points were added up, the game went back and forward all day with the dice allowing no one to get the upper hand but eventually we got a few good dice rolls and the Union started to collapse, a great game, great gamers and a great day!
