I hope Eskimo Joe wasn't injured!

Oh, wait, that's not the Stillwater you're talking about . . .

Silliness aside: What an absolutely GORGEOUS game! My hat's off to you and your compadres for the stunning scenery, figures, and thoroughgoing treatment of the battle.

First rate stuff, all the way 'round!

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call a GREAT looking game!

What rules did you use?

Whatisitgood4atwork15 Jun 2009 9:17 p.m. PST

Wonderful! The pics are lovely. My only wish/suggestion is putting a caption under each pic so we can follow the game as well as admire the eye-candy.

But the eye-candy is outstanding. Well done and thank you.

Great work!
Joe, how can I contact you?

Joe Dever16 Jun 2009 2:13 a.m. PST

To Desert Fox: I've updated the link to include our AWI house rules. They are a simple set designed for quick play and fast combat resolution. You are welcome to copy & print them for your own use.

To losart: you can contact my via my wargaming email address (superiorofficers@gmail.com)

Great looking game. Terrain and figures looking excellent, and the situation looks good as well. Can it get any better?

Thanks

Great terrain, figs and game – notably things like the Padre in front of his church!

Wow! Excellent job. Nice introduction, superb terrain and miniatures, and great photography.
Nice little touches all over the place too.
The perfect battle report!

That's what I call a world in miniature!
It was like looking round a particularly good model village – only better.

Frankss16 Jun 2009 10:58 a.m. PST

WOW !!! Amazing!

Ashokmarine16 Jun 2009 4:53 p.m. PST

Very nice! Not mention all the detail on the figures as well its quite an accomplishment…..

I noticed several different base types.What do you consider a "base" for the rules? One figure or more?

Also what manufactures did you use?

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP16 Jun 2009 5:44 p.m. PST

Simply incredible set up. The room you played in was pretty awesome too!

Incredible……….

Thanks,

John

Infantry = 4 figures per base
Cavalry = 2 figures per base (counts as 4 for casualty purposes, horse + rider)
Skirmishers (Inf/Cav) = single bases.
Skirmishers don't test for morale.
Typical unit size = 16 figures (320 men at 20:1 ratio)
You'll notice we use white rings to denote casualties on a base.
When a base takes 4 casualties it's removed and the unit tests for morale.
When a unit is reduced to one base, it disperses (base is removed from play).
Figures are mainly Front Rank:

I love seeing games that look as good as this.

docdennis196820 Jun 2009 6:28 a.m. PST

AAA+++ There is just NO negative whine about!!

Robin Bobcat23 Jun 2009 2:44 a.m. PST

With those white rings, I can't help but imagine those soldiers as being utterly terrified of life preservers…

Oh Crikey!
THAT is some wargame!
The detail is magnificent.

But….ummmm….errrrr…..are you SURE that is the right shade of dirt under the fingernails of those troops? evil grin

Goldwyrm26 Nov 2009 7:07 a.m. PST

I'm glad this topic got bumped. Beautiful looking game there.
