The game is a table!
Since I'm not ready to play the full second day I taped off a corner of the table, a bit over 1/2 the possible playing area, and just laid out the 1st day terrain. The larger number of 4" squares made it easier as hoped.
I did investigate the possible of scaling each brigade to match historical totals but in most cases the total stands per division ended up the same as using standard sized brigade units so I went the easy OS route and all brigades are 3 strong except 2 in the VI corps which are short a stand to correct the Divisional numbers.
Hopefully I'll finish the game tomorrow and have time for a fantasy medieval game then a year end Toy Soldier game.

ReplyDeleteI have followed your blogs about re fighting Zgettysburg with interest, and you do seem to be on the verge of achieving your goal. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks Bob, I wasn't sure initially that I wanted to come here but I am enjoying it.
DeleteRoss Mac,
DeleteZgettysburg? Was I drunk? Too many glasses of ginger beer I'm afraid!
All the best,
