Hello Guys, I have just placed up a few images from the game the boys at the Lonely Gamers Club had last night. We re-played the 2nd wave of Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, just to see how it would play using Regimental Fire & Fury….well as per histroy not good for the Confederates. They did however make the wall and push across only to be beaten back. link Regards Nathan

Larry, Alway good to be home with a loving family. But I have to say visting the battlefields of the American Civil War with you has inspired me to read more into such a colourful period in your countries history…..and of course wargame the period. Thanks again Larry Regards Nathan

We just did a bus tour thingy of Gettysburg and I brought up that History Channel documentary about the fence and our guide said, in a nutshell, that they had the map upside down (as it relates to the graves) and that the fence caused troubles but it wasn't the momentum stopping element they portrayed. Interesting.

Absolutely stunning – something to aspire towards. What size are your infantry bases? Raglan

Great stuff. Very inspiring.

Lord Raglan, The base sizes for the majority of the figures are 50 x 45 with five to six figures on each. The collection once belonged to Bill Gaskins but has since been re sold a couple of times and has now ended you here in Townsville…so all good I would say. Regards Nathan

Cheers Nathan, I think 50mm wide is about right for 28mm figures. Raglan
