I had a look at the new Plastic Army of the Potomac that I wrote up and tried in July and decided to replace the Rally rule with a basic morale throw based on one in Battles With Model Soldiers.

Rainy Day Game
Its a rainy weekend and I have no outside commitments on Saturday and no big household projects ready to go. Sounded like a game day to me but what to play?
For various reasons I found myself thinking back to my first wargame with the Montreal wargamers, an ACW game using Airfix figures. Well, why not?

Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Your tabletop is looking very effective ready for the game.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I didn't get around to finishing the painting on it so plan to do so during the winter.
DeleteStrike them a blow Kinch!
ReplyDeleteStrike them a blow!
He always does, not always a KO but always a stout effort.
DeleteI was about to say, and not a hex or square in sight, when I spotted how you have neatly camouflaged the squares. A really effective looking table. And Airfix figures too. Looking forward to a battle report.
ReplyDeleteIt'll look even better again when I finish detailing it this winter. I started off with measuring tape in hand, ignoring the grid for this game, but........
DeleteVery effective battlefield as usual. Had a few battles with Airfix over the years - even had a load of ACW figures at one time.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised when this come back occurred.
DeleteDarn you, sir! I was ready to start a new project, inspired by your 40mm figures, then you bring up Airfix ACW, and now I'm thinking of my Airfix ACW! I am, however, looking forward to the battle report. I especially love the first photograph.
ReplyDeleteVariety, the spice of life!
