Another vote for PC from me

VB: all 1/72 & 20mm figures. It's all I do.
You might notice a thin smattering of the old Airfix figures in the ranks.

What's your opinion of Pickett's Charge? Iain Thank you, Iain. As you know, PC is also from the same stable as the General d'Armee Napoleonic rules, which I very much like. Thus the similar mechanisms meet my approval. I'm not very knowledgeable about the ACW so I'm not the person to ask about hist...

Two important questions here:- 1) Is it like Count Andy's ACW collection, where it's actually just one figure photo-shopped a multiplicity of times? 2) Which blue(s) do you use? 1) No no no no no....no no no....no 2) a range of Vallejo ones: primarily Prussian Blue (I was very tempted to write &quo...

Our little group have run a game at the local Train & Hobby Show for 12 years now. It provides focus for the year's activities (which will, however, include other games) and we do look forward to the 2 days of gaming, interacting with the crowds etc. Our 'Oldest Member' is an ACW-nut. He has lit...

Goes to show, there's still a few decent characters in that hell hole though I think we're now outnumbered by the RWNJs.

I've no desire to trash the rules: they just aren't a good fit for me.
I also don't eat crab, prawns or lobster so what would I know?

Oh, I got that some years ago & didn't love it so I use our home-groan rules. BTW I found an Index for GdA. Composed by some fan, it runs to 3 pages. I downloaded it some time ago & forgot I had it. I also forget where it came from......some blog? I started to search & will get back to y...

There's a SYW version? Where? When? How.....

Embankment might be the go. Have you thought about using paper sheets with a stone pattern for the bottom bits? The sort of thing you buy, fairly cheaply, from model train shops. Cut to size & glue on mdf. If the pattern is different, even better because most of these things were built on earlie...
