ACW game.

Last night we travelled south to Dave's house to play a great ACW game-the objective of the game was to dominate the central hill-easy?

As Graham looks on,Dave points out terrain features-the central hill is,well,in the centre!!

Nick(new member!) and Brian contemplate the situation before any movement-my division is moving up the road in the foreground.


My troops have "vaulted" the fence are about to assist Dave on the central hill(that's it in the centre!)


Paul can be seen manoeuvering his division against both Brian and Nick-tense stuff so far.


The central hill is getting attacked by Nick and Graham-I suppose I'll have to intervene and save the day!


Yep,a couple of well timed volleys saw Graham's attack falter,but the central position(the hill!) was still being hotly disputed!

On the right,Paul was heavily outnumbered but was holding his own(ooher!)-this was going to be touch and go!!


This is a shot from the "Reb's" side of the table,with the Central hill taken and Paul in all kinds of bother,we had to concede(even though I had held my flank,so technically won the game!)- well done to Dave for putting on this great game,and well done to us all for playing in it!

    1. Hi Herky(retired!) the only difference between Dave's setup and mine is that his is clean,tidy,warm and comfortable!!

    1. AS usual,house rules-very simple but relying on historical knowledge and fair play!!
