Taking JRII for a trot again

Here's a thumbnail of a map for a Johnny Reb II game I'm planning with Bill G, an old RAEME mate. His Yanks (Bartlett's brigade plus some hangers on) want to stop a division from Ewell's Corps (they're mine) from taking the bridge and hamlet, then installing a fast food place.

Re: Base ID

Good points, Donald. The unit uniforms/clothing are enough to distinguish one unit from another in most of the forces, apart from my ACW stuff. With them I paint the bottom of the bases in the brigade's colour and write in the info'. Not as convenient, but it seems to work.

Re: Dunoon - ECW game

Our group is working hard to prepare for our demo Show game in July. unoon1.jpg[/img][/url] "Galloper" cavalry is King Charles' elite. Now that's one sort of hard work I wouldn't moan about, Donald. Looks like a good game. Note to self- NO ECW! NO ECW! NO ECW! Finish what you have, Stupid!
