Title: The Battle for the Sawmill - A Black Powder II AAR.
Post by: Steve J on 03 October 2022, 01:22:56 PM
An AAR of a quick game played this morning. Note I updated my Blog name (no longer WWII Gaming Addict) which has caued more issues than imagined. So if anyone was following my Blog, you will need to do so again I'm afraid. Apologies for this :( .

Thanks for sharing Steve - looks good. I do like the look of the cavalry shown in the couple of linked photos. 

On the blog post only about half the photos are showing for me, for some reason. 

One of the things we found with BP was that units really seem to run together at the start of the game. Would be easy to reduce movement rates a bit, or reduce the impact of 2nd or 3rd moves to be 50% moves rather than 100% each.

Sorry Fred, but no idea on the photos showing issue I'm afraid :( . At least with the GH! supplement, if you move more than once, you can't shoot, which helps slow things down a bit.

The photos are all showing for me now - not sure what was going on there. I'd left the tab with the battle report open on my iPad, and happened to look at it just now, and all the photos showing. So possibly some slowness at my end.
