Fire & Fury ACW + Warning Order Update
I left up some of the Phantoms images as my camera needs a lot of light, so only about five of the twenty plus images I took last Friday night came out good. It's definitely time to upgrades cameras! Anyway, we settled on a Fire & Fury scenario only to remember that I was the only one who had CSA forces available this week, which meant it was going to be a very small game!
The Union had several divisions which were attacking two Confederate divisons behind breastworks on a hill. The CSA forces were in a good position, but the Union artillery, which rarely performs well in our games, started destroying stands left and right! There was a masive cavalry battle on the CSA right which ended in defeat for the Southern cavalry forces after a few turns. The Union infantry took a pounding coming up the hill and for a time it looked as if the Confederates might pull the victory out. However, a few bad rolls in melee and all of a sudden the CSA center and right collapsed, edning the game in a Union victory. A fast, fun game that showed that you don't always need every fig the group owns on the tabletop.
Finally, Issue #31 of Warning Order is nearing completion. I have the F&F battle report and two small articles to finish, then it will be posted. I'm hoping to get it done by the 27th if possible and sorry for the delays.
