Herewith, American Civil War, ACW, Osprey Rebels and Patriots Game, using many classic 1/72 miniatures. This is only the second time I have tried these rules. This game played out better than the first which had been an American War of Independence Game which saw my Indian forces being easily cut to shreds, casualties can be brutal in this game but that does help facilitate a quicker game. In this battle the Union hardly even got to deploy on the table before being charged by some boisterous Confederate cavalry. Unfortunately the Confederate commander was injured, and crippled for life, in this headlong charge, but this will no doubt give him something to talk about to the ladies, as a war hero, whilst they admire his fine moustache. The Confederates also managed to deploy some artillery which took a few pot shots to make sure the Union was seen off. Game was also an opportunity to use some mat wheat fields. It also showed me that I desperately need some better roads.
