About This Game:
I ran this game three times in the fall of 2012, including at Fall-In. The Union players won two of the three games. The game pictured above was a near Union victory. Shortly after putting this game together, Rick Hasenauer released a Cornfield scenario for his Regimental Fire and Fury Scenarios book. At some point, I’m hoping to revisit this battle and give Rick’s scenario a try.Thanks for looking

Absolutely beautifull.
ReplyDeleteThe best looking ACW game I've ever seen.
Another fantastic looking game!
ReplyDeleteAlways funny to see the Battle of Sharpsburg called instead "Antietam." Where is the creek? I don't see it anywhere on the board. What dumb yankee decided to name a battle after an insignificant body of water instead of the place on the map where it happened?
ReplyDeleteGreat, I bet next you’re going to ask me why the battle was fought in a national park.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I am wondering, what kind of time and budget go into a project of this scope?
