The weekend saw our group trip to Newark for The Other Partizan show. We put on a Gettysburg game using the 10mm collections. A good team effort with contributions of kit, time and effort across the group.
We were playing out day 2 of the battle

| View from the North |
The table was 12x6 with 3000 figures involved altogether

| View from the South with James and Martin |
 |
| The Plum Run with Devils Den and the Round Tops |
 |
| The first of many assaults on Culps Hill |
 |
| Longstreets troops advance at the Peach Orchard |
 |
| Devils Den falls and Union troops retreat |
 |
| The assault up Little Round Top fails |
 |
| The Union troops push back down the slopes |
 |
| Cenmetary Ridge still has a mass of Federal troops in reserve. |
 |
| The 5th Reb assault takes Culps Hill , the Counterattack pushes then to to back of the hill |
The Union held the ground successfully
Having played it , it really showed the challenges . We will play it through from Day1 some time soon I think
A good day was had. Lots of interest from people , lots of chatting .i topped up my MDF mountain with bases and box inserts . A quick whizz around the fantastic tables . I need to look out for blogs and videos to see them all .
Looks brilliant Dave. Well done mate - Carlo

DeleteWow!! What an incredible table, Dave. Hats off to you and the others for putting it together. Terrific eye-candy. Hoping to get up to Partizan next year if I can.
ReplyDeleteThanks - yes get yourself there !
DeleteThat is an impressive looking table so well done to all involved. I gamed the entire battle solo (in 6mm) earlier this year and it really did give me a greater understanding of the difficulties faced by both sides!
ReplyDeleteAn impressive game Dave and indeed a tough one for the confederates, but they nearly did it historically 👍
ReplyDeleteSure looks like a great game Dave, gutted I missed the show!!
