Dear All,
From Friday 28th June to Sunday 30th June, 17 Australian wargamers replayed the 3 days of Gettysburg to commemorate the 150th anniversary of that Battle of 1-3 July 1863. We used over 4,500 28mm model soldiers, and the action ranged over 240 square feet of professionally modelled terrain. Please see my blog below for the full account of Day 1's Shenanigans… link |

What a weekend! I was the Reb CinC and I had a blast!
It was a pleasure to spend time rolling dice with all of the gentlemen involved. Wait until day 2 reports and then I will tell you why I reckon it was a Reb victory! :) |

Sparker … Are you now an Australian? Not officially until August…but my Wargames Illustrated article had a huge great Aussie Flag next to my name, much to the mirth of the local mob, so I guess I am in wargaming circles…. I am also entitled to French Citizenship, so may go for the hatrick of passports – should be able to get out of any scrape then! |
