Solo Games "R" us!!

I have been indulging my need for games by spending a fair bit of time in my "new" games room.

I have been concentrating on ACW (two games played already) and today on ECW (also two games played)-I set challenges and objectives for both sides,and try whenever possible, to stick to them,letting the dice decide which side wins,within the realms of realism.

ACW game,the REBS had to hold their position,whilst the Union attacked via flanks and direct assault on the wall-very bloody affair!

The costly assault on the Reb-held wall is shown in top photo,a Reb counter attack on the Union centre is shown in the bottom photo.

These are the "casualties!-10 Union units against 4 Reb units-an emphatic win for the Confederate forces,and a very enjoyable afternoon.

ECW game played today-a straight forward "bash",the objective for both armies was to destroy the enemy!!!

Don't you just love huge cavalry battles and lots of artillery???-followed by line upon line of infantry  firing their muskets before getting stuck in with pike and musket butt!!

I'm thoroughly enjoying these small(no pun intended!) games,played in a comfortable room,with coffee etc. to hand and breaks taken when needed!-and of course,I get to win every time!!

Roll on Sunday,we hopefully will have a full turnout,and a cracking Colonial game:Paul hepled with the gas situation thismorning,so we will be warm again.
