Hello Folks,
Got to try out some civil war action on Thursday, using Black Powder and the new Epic Battles stuff. I picked a scenario out of the book but forget the name now. But basically the confederates are attacking a stronger force, the union will win if they capture a crossroad.
Here's the set up. As per the map. Ready for battle. The important cross road is the one just in front of my guys.
Confederates got the first turn but immedatl6 failed a command roll so no moves. The union however did not and came charging in blasting away. I was then able to move up the end of the line to get everyone shooting.
Second brigade of union coming up in the flank. But at least only part of their line was able to move into close range as the end was disordered.
Moving my other brigade to defend the flank while everyone keeps shooting away. Also the union reserve turned up so that can't be good.
Advancing in.
Trying to fill in the gaps with my second brigade and set up a flank.
Union pressing in hard.
Lots of casualties and disorders going back on forth, but who will break first.
Turns out to be the confederates! Good news for everyone.
Very simple game but pretty fun, time to get painting so we can do a bigger game next time!
Thanks;
Mike
