Last Monday at the club, Josh put on a fantastic ACW game using fire and fury regimental and his 15mm ACW collection. We refought the battle of Honey Hill in 1864 from Shermans march to the sea. Tony and I were the Confederates and Greg, Ed and Keith the Union.
The Union forces outnumber the confederates by close to 3:1 but the Rebs have fortified positions
The Union's left flank emerges from the woods - its a very large attack
The left flanks attack charges home - most of the Union troops are Veterans vs Trained for the confederates
I tried shifting some regiments to meet the Union attack but did so too late, dooming Tony and I to defeat. Just after this picture was taken, the CSA force reached it's break point and the game was called. It was a lot of fun to play regimental F&F again.
A view from the Union side.
I was able to get to the club a bit earlier and was also able to play a quick game of Churchill from GMT games. Its a very fun and interesting card driven game of conferences between the allies to during the course of WW2. I found it fascinating and want to play again.
That is a lovely table, I wrote about that battle and played it once (I think) last century.
ReplyDeleteI love F&F although I only plat the first edition brigade level rules.
