That looks good David and is a good clear read- what rules were you using?

Black Powder 2 rules as for most things nowadays, memory being major problem for me with multiple sets. Glad you, and Tim, enjoyed the read.

That looked like a good game, Penda. I haven't tried BP2 for ACW, but it looks to have worked well.

Cheers.

Yes, but BP2 is nowhere near as good as "Bull Run to Gettysburg".

Are they your rules Tim?
When i saw some of the terminology used I thought they might have been Pickett's charge by Dave Brown

Very kind Tim, but as the author I can't comment further for obvious reasons. If I played fewer periods/genres I'd always use them for my ACW games, but as I'm a certified gaming flutterby I need to rationalise my approach. It's an age/memory thingie sadly.
