Last Sunday down at the Vikings Club, Craig, Gary and I played an American Civil War, Black Powder game, the Battle of Kernstown 1862. This scenario was straight out of the second edition Black Powder rules (pp.170-175 ). Gary was the Confederate commander, Stonewall Jackson, while Craig commanded the Union brigades under Kimball and Tyler and I commanded those under Sullivan and Brodhead. This turned out to be a decisive victory for the Confederates and the Union brigades of Brodhead, Sullivan and Kinball were all broken in turn.

What a great looking battle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, it was an easy victory for the Confederates.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking game, you really need a whole lot of fencing and buildings for an ACW game to look right and this certainly does!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, you do - all the Perry plastic buildings and fencing are really handy.
DeleteGreat looking game - terrain and troops look excellent. Hope you all enjoyed the rules too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, it was fun to play an ACW game, we don't play them that often.
DeleteExcellent! Kernstown provides a good situation for a small action.
ReplyDeleteI like your table set up and BatRep.
Thanks Jonathan, most of the ACW figures are Craig's, I'd like to try Regimental or Brigade Fire and Fury.
DeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Aaron, I'm keen to paint some ACW for Rebels and Patriots which is being released next month.
