ACW Action at Vineyard farms 1863
This battle was organised by Jason using the Black Powder rule set.
It was a great game and a good day.
 |
| Col. Hans Heg's 3rd Brigade out on a limb |
Brigadier General Jefferson Davis 1st Division of 20th Corps was holding the Union right at Chickamuga when he was attacked by the Confederates'.
Colonel Heg (25th Illinois, 35th Illinois, 8th Kansas & 15th Wisconsin) had taken his brigade to far forward with Brig. Gen. William Carlin 2nd Brigade (21st Illinois, 38th Illinois, 81st Indiana, 101st Ohio & the 2nd Minnesota Artillery) behind in support and father back a Col. John Wilder's Mounted Infantry brigade (98th Illinois, 123rd Illinois, 17th Indiana, 72nd Indiana & 18th Indiana Artillery).

 |
| The Union forever |
 |
| The Rebs are now on the back foot on the Union Right flank. |
 |
| Lots of Union troops now and there are still more to come if needed. |
The Confederate forces lost more troops on the day and the Union held the reinforcement road and the road that headed off to the Main Union positions at Chickamuga. However, the Rebel Texas Brigade got off table near the road which was it appears part of their objective.
The game was good and I enjoyed the Blackpowder rules more than the last time, but this may have come from a better understanding of the rules.

Bolt Action
I did not get enough pictures of this game of Russians vs Germans as I was tied up as Union C-in-C.
This game was organised by Stephen. It looked good.
