A decent game of They Couldn't Hit An Elephant: link |

I like the game! Pretty cool. However, I think I'd try and find a way to minimize those markers on the back of the stands. They really detract from the look of the figs, IMHO. Thanks, John |

Ya, it's hard to find the balance between keeping the regiments straight and +50 eyeballs that need assistance. I'm thinking a less-white paper with darker printing. |

Congratulations! It looks very nice. I wish I'd thought to put the ground cloth over the rather awkward hills we used. The R Fire & Fury guys recommend white letters on a black background as being less obtrusive. Our next commemorative may be the 3rd July cav battle at Gettysburg. Good gaming! |

Thanks. Playing a game with Ed Mohrmann and an an infantry man with a joy for gaming and an experienced game player will keep you on your toes for sure. Scott Mingus' Crossed Sabres gives us 9 excellent cavalry fights from Brandy Station to Gettysburg. I plan on playing each as close to their anniversary date as possible. I'm beginning to think that getting terrain right is an art and a much more vital part of scenarios than most folks think. We'll learn from each other's AARs and do our game set ups better to give our gaming friends better experiences. |

John, it was a great game and super gaming experience,
enhanced no end by your preparation, planning, scenario
design and GM'ing ! Well-done X 3 !!! If John runs this at a con somewhere, and y'all are
there, join in ! Great scenario and very well-run! |

I appreciate that, Ed. I'd love to get this on a 12x6 with 3 players a side….I think it'd be a close run thing on who wins. |

John, Great set up and sounds like a good game. Vince |

With your help. You saved me a bunch 'o painting, like not having to do 120 infantry figures….or two regiments on both sides. |
| Col Durnford | 10 Jun 2013 7:36 a.m. PST |
Glad my old command is still on the table. |

It was. I'm running it again at Southern Front, hopefully with more north-south space so the Reserve Brigade gets deployed correctly. |

What is great about this scenario is that it doesn't require points, you have to general well to do well. |
