What follows are five collages of my game at Little Wars. We played Wilson's Creek using my 10mm Cracker Line and Plank Road figures over my sculpted terrain boards built specifically for this battle. While we used Regimental Fire & Fury, I expanded the scenario to include the action east of the creek and Sigel's assault in the south. The Yanks won after 10 turns. Next up is Nashcon 2015 in Franklin, TN. Hope to see ya'll there. Bill crackerlineminis.com

Hi Bill, 1 May 2015 Great photos! Banks must have been taking Steroids;-) Is there some way you can post the photos so they can be viewed separately and enlarged? I'd like to see the detail of your miniatures and the terrain. Best, Lowell

An outstanding presentation Bill! Hope the participants had as good a time playing as you did putting it all together and running it!

Any chance of an AAR?

Yes to both, but it will not be until later this weekend. Wife's out of town tomorrow so I will have a bit more time to post the comments and add verbiage.

If you want to see this game in person, I believe Bill will be running it at Nashcon at the end of this month. I've had the good fortune of playing in one of Bill's games before (Lookout Mountain), and his games are meticulously researched, in addition to being visually stunning.

Thanks Mike, looking forward to gaming with you more frequently now that I am in the Atlanta area.
