The local HMGS-South group played a game of Black Powder at the Dogs of War shop. The ACW scenario was based loosely on the action Beaver Dam Creek on June 26, 1862. link

Looks like it was an enjoyable game. The arrows certainly help tell the story. Though I would like to get a closer look at those figures! |

The 'blunders' that you refer to, are these a feature of the rules? (i.e. do the rules provide for a sort of chaos effect and could the game at the outset of gone either way?). The game gives a good narrative, which does seem to be common the the Black Powder AAR in general, I am increasingly becomming interested in using them but I think my gaming area is probably too small. |

One of the battles I grew to have a serious interest in was Mechanicsville and the Seven Day's Campaign in general. I enjoyed reading your battle report. How long did the game last and how many players? Thanks, John |

There were three Confederate, two Union players and no moderators this time. The time limit on our club games at the wargame shop is typically 4 hours (1pm to 5pm). We called this one after about 3 hours when it became obvious that the Union could not hold the field. |

Blunders: command rolls are done with 2D6. There is a 1-36 chance of a command blunder each time. |
