Waiting for the enemy


Federal Troops take up positions on Boot Hill, ready to resist a Rebel attack.


15 infantry units (4 stands each), 6 skirmish units (2 stands each), 10 batteries organized into 6 Divisions (aka Brigades).

Each stand represents an average of 200 men, each gun represents 8. An inch on the table is around 40 yards. This is around the top end size of battle that HofT is intended to handle. My usual scale is 1"=25 yards and 120 men per stand.

Any resemblance to a real battle, living or dead is purely delusional.

    Yikes! Wouldn't want to be Johnny Reb! What's in the wargaming air, do you think? ACW seems to be everywhere.

    Well I dunno but it is the 150th anniversary of one well known action this coming week. Mere coincidence on my part but it has brought it a little more to mind over the last 2 years.
