Up Next: Battle of Daniel's Crossing

Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are marching. 

The Rebs have stolen a march on the Yankees and seized a bridge over the Lil'Phoam River.

Thank you all for  your condolences. 

Since my friend John had been an avid Civil War reenactor as well as a wargamer, I decided I should get the boys in Blue and Grey out for a game in his honour. 

An overview of the field of battle as the Yankee cavalry arrives on the high ground across the field.

If all goes well, there should be a battle report by Saturday.

  3. Ross, I concur with the others. As I am also a Civil War re-enactor, I think that's a splendid idea.
