Cherry Tree Hill: Teaser

What a splendid day for a game outside and what an enjoyable way to spend a day! 

It was, maybe, a little too hot after lunch, and the persistent attacks by a man eating deer tick led to a horrific struggle. Luckily, my foe was crushed before he could inflict bodily injury on me and the temperature moderated for the late afternoon session. 

Some lessons were learned. I should either have started earlier, before the overhanging Cherry tree, and the Pines along the stream to the northeast, threw patchy shadows over the field of battle, or waited until the sun sank below the tops of trees in the woods to the west of us. As it was, the high contrast between patchy shadows and bright sunshine made life extremely difficult for my cellphone camera.   

I also learned that despite the battle field being some seven times the size of my wargames table, I didn't need to use a different set of rules as showed by the late afternoon portion of the game, but more on that aspect later. 

More outdoor games are highly likely, but first, there is a Battle report to write.
