"Altar of Freedom at Fall-In" Topic

I was lucky to get into the excellent game 'Seven Pines' run by Greg Wagman on Saturday morning. I have the rules and was looking to observe a playthrough and a spot opened up. I commanded as Heintzelman. The figures and terrain were inspiring and the game was a blast. I thought the bidding for initiative and the game clock really added the right amount of friction and time management. The mechanisms were straightforward and the drama was high. If you are looking to do the bigger battles of the war these rules are a great acquisition.

Thanks Greg for hosting and Greg (Gen'l Johnston) for a fun game.

I don't have any photos but I saw a few snaps in Lord Ashram's post re Fall-In.

Sorry bout the cross-post…it's Monday and Ancients begins with an A

If you give us a little more info about what a stand represents, how combat is resolved, morale, etc. it would be greatly appreciated

Each stand is a brigade. You activate divisions and each stand moves up to a fixed amount (8"). Combat is d6 with modifiers for support, brigade rating (size, not quality), fatigue or terrain. Fatigue is the only morale representation I experienced. There is infantry firing at 2 inches with minor effect. Ground scale is 1 in = 150 yards. Turns are an hour. Most close combat results in recoils with accumulating fatigue.

Here's a FAQ from the website.

Thanks.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has played both this set and Volley and Bayonet.

Those forests they use are really well done.
