Title: Bonnie Blue Flag ACW rules - a test game
Post by: Norm on 07 May 2021, 02:10:24 PM
Trying out a set of fast play ACW rules .... Bonnie Blue Flag, using just a brigade per side as per the intro scenario. The other scenario in the book is Port Republic, which has two brigades per side.

I have blogged an article about mechanics and discuss unit footprint and table size.

Interesting review.  :-bd

I've sent you a couple of pics of The Coaling at Port Republic.

Ooh thanks, very helpful. I have also found some useful references in the Osprey campaign book - Shenandoah Valley 1862.

Some unusual mechanisms in those rules :-\

Thanks for that Norm. As I now play solo on a maximum 5' x 3' table these rules could prove very useful. Caliver seem to be doing quite well out of me these days.

Just had a look for this on the Caliver and Partizan websites, but it appears to be out of stock or listed in an obscure corner I am unable to find.

Hi Andy,

Go to Caliver
Go to rules and games in the left column
Select American C19th
Then in the little search section type in bonnie blue
And you should get it.

That's what I did to buy it, as I couldn't find it without searching the folder - odd!

I have just checked and it looks to still be in stock.
