Yesterday I got invited over to Rich's house for a play test of his revised Fire and Fury: Brigade rules, which is coming out in a new version (hopefully by year end). With the base unit being a Brigade, one can play rather large battles and that's what we did - the entire first day of Gettysburg in 15 mm scale.
Of course, Rich's tables are really things of beauty - the second picture show missionary ridge across the the top and the town of Gettysburg at the bottom.
Check out the rules at Rich's website: Fire and Fury.
I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. I commanded a division form the Union 11th corps and lets just say my generalship was "off" - I got my butt kicked but had a blast. I also got to meet another local gamer which is always a plus.
The Brigade level rules are similar but not the same as the regimental but I really liked them. It was really fascinating to see a"whole Battlefield" play out in front of you.
My defenses crumble against the onslaught of Early's division.
Hmmm, I wonder where the confederate attack will focus on?
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to’s, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer’s Illiad or Newton’s Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.

Great looking layout
Lovely looking table. Only recently tried normal F&F and enjoyed it and contemplating Regimental. Didn't realise there was a Brigade one!
Thanks for posting.
I highly recommend you get with the regimental and brigade versions
