2026 Games Count

ACW: Resaca. (BBB rules.)
Pendraken figures.

First serious substantial scenario I've written this year.
Considering it's basically a Union assault on well entrenched Confederates, it produced a surprisingly good game with a surprising amount of manoeuvre. I'll call it a success. (Even though I and my fellow Union player Dave T lost.)

ACW: Resaca replayed (BBB rules).
Pendraken figures.

Revisited the scenario we played last week but with some small amendments.
Excellent close hard-fought game, came down to the last throw of the dice changing Confederate victory into a draw.
A couple more fine-tuning tweaks to the scenario and we can call it good.

Cold War gone Hot, 1985 (Team Yankee).
My first time playing TY. Used Tim's very lovely Pendraken Soviets and Brits.
Swift and brutal game, not a whole lot of manoeuvre beyond advance and assault, all over in 4 turns.
We all had a good time though.

ACW: Kennesaw Mountain (BBB rules)
First playtest of this new scenario that covers a month of operations, including the prequel actions at New Hope Church, Pickett's Mill, Dallas, etc.
Useful scenario-wise in highlighting a couple of things I need to change.
Successful game-wise in that all the players seemed to enjoy it!
Two more playtests lined up for the next week.
