The Story of a Battle……..

The Northerners have heard a large Confederate army is heading their way. Part of it has to pass through this settlement. Two rather depleted Northern brigades are the only things in their way.

This is the story of what happened next and the tremendous fighting that ensued……..

Nice looking game.
But…. why does the Union regiment in the fifth picture have its regimental flag upside down?

Very imaginitive. Nicely done AAR!

Other than the Regt. Standard being upside down,being a mild distraction, it looks like a great game!

The flag looks so battered, I suppose he didn't notice. A secret signal perhaps? :-)

Obviously the banner was put on in a rush.. since the caption to the pic says "Union troops hastily march off…"

Those are some "Veteran" looking figures! Do they get bonuses for having been in so many fights?
