We played another game using the Alter of Freedom rules . This time the Battle of Glendale which sees McClellan’s army already in retreat with the baggage that is being persued by Jackson on one flank , and Lee and Longstreet are about to arrive on the other . It would turn out to be another great game . Table was 10x6 with 6 of us playing.
Ian , commanding Sedgewicks division- managed to roll 6 after 6 for units - utterly blunting Lee’s attack and keeping the road clear
Martin contemplates the unfolding Confederate attack - and wonders why it’s not working!
Jackson’s units attempt to cross the river via the bridge
Outnumber Union units face off against Jackson
Ian and Stig battle it out - Union dice were hot, CSA were not . The Rebs called it a day on turn 5 of 7 , where they could just not get through the Union divisions - and the Union baggage was heading off table .
Another good game . The Rebs could and should have won on turn 2 or 3 as they easily outnumbered the defending units - but a turn of incredible defensive dice made the difference .
We had 10 of us at the club meet - a record day . It was good to all meet up
I am finally starting to get back to a little modelmaking and painting . I sustained an arm injury in January that is only just recovering - so it’s good to get back to it - nothing completed yet .
it was a pretty but annoying battle. Rebs are crap
