"I have a clever plan....."

Thanks for all the feedback & requests.   Its been a ...few...years since I read up on any accounts of Gettysburg apart from various memoirs (from both sides), or based a game on some part of it, and have never gotten around to the Peach Orchard etc. So....I've just been making a brief review of that section of the battle and have decided that to design a scenario to fit my troops on hand, my table, and my one page rules, with at least a whiff of history it'll take a day or six before I can get the game on the table.       
(Luckily I'll be home alone next weekend! :)  ), 

 (see Kinch's Charge 1 July 2013 on my then 6'x8' table.)
Yeah, the armies have grown in numbers since then.

So, in the mean time time, I'll start with a simple scenario from one of the other requested periods and keep going until all requests have been tabled.

    1. Couldn't help myself, Airfix ACW were one of my first HO/OO sets when my age only used 1 number.

  6. Excellent choice, Ross! I shall watch these pages with close attention. Well, with whatever attention I can spare... Fall-In is this coming weekend, then it's off to Vermont for modern military shenanigans. But I shall be watching!

    1. Must remember to put your name under 1 stand. What rank do you want? :)

  8. Clever is all well and good, but is it cunning?
