...and those dam' Yankees are invading already, sir. Our brave lads have marched out to engage them in a scorching summer, and we've met in the neighbourhood of Gettysburg. Pictures to follow.

Balloons not complete yet, but not needed this time.

Dam' Yankees have crippled the Virginia with the first shots of the campaign. So much for my naval support next to the New Jordan river. :(

If the Yankees are invading and the battle is around Gettysburg then you/they ought to spend less time painting the little chaps and more time looking at maps.

Technically only New Englanders are Yankees, so possibly... :-\

Of course this is Kitty, who has a penchant for the Wild West. He could be speaking of Gettysburg, SD* and the Northern invaders are from ND (and are possibly even mis-identified Canadians).


* yes I know it didn't exist in 186x but I've found giving the truth scope adds to wargame storytelling

We'd moved into the Gettysburg area already. They were invading our new territory, with regrettable efficiency. I've had to surrender unconditionally already.

All’s well that ends well.
(now for the carpetbaggers).

Will there still be pictures?

Here we go. Just needed a bit of format work, which is Lee's department (the wife, not the southern general). Models Pendraken, Newlines, Red Eagle, Leven.

Note I did emphasise it was a hot, dry year.

The camps. Note surprise visit by Mrs Mary Lincoln, her husband, and their friend Mr Booth.

Ridiculous preponderance of cavalry actions. Even worse, the northerners kept getting the jump on me in movement order and attacking me before I was deployed.

Heavily outnumbered on the right flank, I had my one brief moment of glory and wiped out the Iron Brigade.

For a change, I was ready this time. Below, Choctaws wondering if they've backed the wrong horse in um white man punch up.

No dam' Yankees are going to be bagging carpets in Richmond! All they'll be capturing is a pile of cinders. Any objections? Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

You're such a generous chap!

Be it recorded that I still intend to have fields of maize, snake fences, and the like.
