Title: The Battle of Big Bethel Photo Battle Report (ACW)
Post by: General Bt Sherman on 13 July 2014, 07:46:00 PM
Hello all, I have decided to re-boot my ACW game series. My plan is to play through all the scenarios in the Regimental Fire and Fury volume 1 scenarios book. I will also add in the scenarios from the rule book and whatever else I find. To play these games, I will use the Rank and File rule set.

First up is the 1861 battle of Big Bethel.  Here's the link to the battle report:  http://thefront.smugmug.com/Battle-of-Big-Bethel/ (http://thefront.smugmug.com/Battle-of-Big-Bethel/)

Great game, Bryan. Great attention to detail.

Incidentally, someone was enquiring about miniature corn-fields in another thread. Where did you acquire yours?

I made them myself. Here's my blog post on them: http://oncampaign.blogspot.com/2012/07/10-15mm-cornfields.html (http://oncampaign.blogspot.com/2012/07/10-15mm-cornfields.html)

I have no interest in ACW but a battle report like this may change my mind.
Wonderful minis, wonderful terrain, wonderful photos.

Lovely account - nicely presented. I have just checked and I have Rank & File, so I am especially pleased with your 'run through'. I just need to get the rest of my Union painted!
