Commiserations, Steve. Poor dice rolling happens to us all at some point (Bad Powder instead of Black Powder?).

The name of your fight also reminded me of one of my first ACW games using Featherstone rules and Airfix figures. We also called it Telegraph Hill but that was because the actual hill was a telephone book!  :D

Hopefully you'll find someone with strong enough maths and knowledge of the rules to answer if -1 to hit or 3 Stamina is better or not

There are times when the Gods of Dice don't roll on your side. We really need to find some ice cream markers for those Whippy moments.

Funnily enough I've worked on something similar, but sad to say slightly outside my budget...
