Last weekend saw another get together of the loose association that is the Old Guard gaming group. We were playing another ACW battle , this time with further increased forces as some of the guys had been busy with the brush. I am really enjoying the visual effect of the 10mm where we can get a decent amount on the table
 |
| The heat of battle! |
 |
| Angus, John, Stewart, Stig and Pete - Martin and James were playing a ww2 game too. |
 |
| The initial reb assault on my position took the fence line ! |
 |
| further down along the fence line was dig leg lined with union troops |
 |
| extended line on the flank with my freshest unit against Angus's troops |
 |
| Union reserve arrives to bolster my failing units |
 |
| More union troops advance |
 |
| Union forces mass to assault the hill . |
 |
| Certainly getting a good visual effect "en masse" |
 |
| the ammo wagon is urgently needed |
 |
| a tough fight for the hill - it ended pretty much a draw! |
Overall a great days gaming.
I am looking forward to attending the Crisis show in Antwerp next week and meeting up with a number of people - oh and of course getting some new shiny things!
A fine looking game Dave, well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers . It's certainly looking part now.. just need more troops. I also want to try out pickets charge
DeleteAs usual with your games Dave, another visual treat.
DeleteOne suggestion though, you will probably need a lot more trees too for any ACW battle. Stones River battlefield was very "woodsy" and much of what's left still is.
That’s DAF . Yes I have more trees on order . I want to double what I have . This game used about 189 !
DeleteWhat a corking treat for the eyes, Dave, and nice to see a group shot of the gang too; including James and Martin in the background I believe :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks . Yes indeed they are. I did not take enough pictures of their game to do it justice !
DeleteA fantastic looking game. Thanks for sharing these pictures. Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee
DeleteLovely looking game! I suppose RF&F from the looks of it?
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Cheers, yes it is RFF
DeleteLooks amazing Dave! 10mm really suits this period.
ReplyDeleteCheers matey, it sure does.
DeleteI know a guy who is all about 10mm. I can't face painting enough figures in 10mm to make it worthwhile but when you seethe massed ranks on 10mm figures, like this, it does look pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking game
ReplyDelete10 mm looking great Dave 😀
ReplyDeleteI have to agree on the visual effect with 10mm. It really does have that big game look whilst still having enough detail with the figures to catch your eye.
ReplyDeleteA truly impressive sight Dave.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteA great looking game, spectacular pictures...What a table!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Delete10mm certainly allows for the big battalions and impressive scenery - looks like a cracking setup!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ev
DeleteIndeed, a very good-looking game. I would have guessed at 15mm figures if you hadn't declared them to be 10mm; I think the table must be smaller than I imagined it to be!
ReplyDeleteCheers , the table was 8x4 ..still room for more troops!
DeleteBrilliant looking game Dave - really enjoying your work on the ACW at present.
