I am really excited. We've been planning a full up regimental scale Johnny Reb III game for the 150th anniversary. On a lark we notified the local news. They sent a reporter. Here's the interview. link Yes, that's me.  I had to share. Check out my buddy Michael's blog. He's doing progress reports. link I'll be doing one massive post on Sunday or Monday. |

"Toy soldiers" !!! You've successfully knocked my arguments back a couple decades, here! It says, right there on the back of the pack, "these are not toys. Ages 14 and up." I plan on having it crochetted and hung over the hobby table, some day. Otherwise … dang, wish I could drive by and see for myself. |

Thanks guys. We finished up this afternoon. I am calling it a Confederate moral victory. They made it onto Cemetery Hill and Big Round Top (barely). The caveat being that the union (due to a wicked evil GM (me) wasn't allowed to use II, III, or VI corps plus half the artillery reserve. We wanted a game, not a slaughter. It went well. Watch for notice of a blog post this week. |

Hey, if toy soldiers was good enough for H G Wells it's good enough for me. :) I DID consider it though and went with toy soldiers as something a "normal" person could understand. |
