So far, so good!
All in all, my test game was well worth it. (Battle report to follow.)

There's still lots of painting to do on the tabletop, and I hope to eventually trim at least a few of my hills to fit the grid better and have the grid marked on some of the free standing rounded off hills.
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.

ReplyDeleteThis set-up puts me in mind of Gaines's Mill - a tough fight on both sides; a battle of attrition. No doubt the volatile seismic activity in the Union left rear prevented the action being named after Tom Cat Mountain...

Also, I think she might have been offended by calling it by that name.....
DeleteThe game was based on the Peach Orchard section on the Gettysburg scenario included in Fire & Fury
Nice to see the old ACW on the (new) tabletop again.
