had a game at my local club last weekend. and thought i would post some photos. All scenery is by Total Battle and all miniatures are Baccus 6mm. the fight itself was loosely based on Winchester. But this time the Union made a fight of it. Unfortunately to no avail as the better quality Confederate troops took the day. Hope you enjoy. flic.kr/p/cgWe4d flic.kr/p/cgWdM1 flic.kr/p/cgWdrs flic.kr/p/cgWbqm flic.kr/p/cgWaAm flic.kr/p/cgWagf flic.kr/p/cgW3NN flic.kr/p/cgW3wG flic.kr/p/cgVYoy

What rules did you use?

Also who did the train and tracks?

We have used crusader publishing's rank and file before, with their ACW supliment. But on this occasion we used Black Powder by Warlord games. It works very well in 6mm, and allows a lot of tweaks to show troop variations. Just changed inch ranges to cm's. Would recommend both. The train and tracks are produced by Irregular miniature I believe. The water butts are scratch built. I like these a lot, they add something to the look of the table. Hope that helps.

Very cool. Yes that is the Irregular Wild West train set.

As the commander of the Confederate left wing I found it a very visually appealing game, even if my attempts to develop my attack met with an initially dismal lack of success (a classic case of inverted dice – roll high and fail to pass on orders roll low and fail to score hits on the opposition… Still a good game though..

Hi Phil, see I am not a technophobe.

Believe it or not but photo's taken on a phone camera. Just shows how technology marches on. But thank you.

Wonderful stuff! I was pretty sure I wanted Total Battles stuff for my ACW project. Now I know I do.
