If it turns out anything like your Burnside's Bridge and Miller's Cornfield tables, it should be brilliant!

Cheers,

Barry

Thanks, Barry.

We won't bring it out to a convention until its at least as good as those two. We can do the terrain, but developing a scenario that works and is fun is the trick! We'll be pushing the envelope with this game.

Title: Fort DeRussy, Louisiana – March 14, 1864
Description: A small Confederate garrison of holds the fortification known as Fort DeRussy in front of a much larger Union force at the start of the Red River Campaign. Just a few weeks later, this same Union army will be defeated at the battle of Mansfield. What if the Confederates had moved a little quicker, and the Union army a little slower, and instead the two armies fought over possession of the fort?

I've updated the link in the last post with more pictures of the game's on-going terrain construction.

Looks great. The ironclad and bridge in particular.

Thanks!

The bridge looks brilliant. The fortifications ain't half bad either.

I've updated my Photobucket site with a new folder containing photos of the games we ran at Historicon, including this one.

The set up was amazing. I wish I could have played, but another game got in the way. Please do it again!

firstvarty197922 Jul 2013 9:49 a.m. PST

We will definitely run it again. It's only a question of when. Fall In is a possibility if our schedules can work out.
