I believe that the Wilderness (ACW) was fought in 1864.

You are right of course, the Wilderness was 1864. Excuse the typo, and thanks for the correction. At least I got it right on the published scenario.

Sounds right tasty. Wrong side of the pond for me…

I'm cursing the fact I have to work that weekend but at least I get to play Gitschin tomorrow, helping Andrew with his playtesting.

Vincent, Spike – sorry you'll miss out. Hopefully some other time!

Registrations for the BBB Bash Day are going well but there are still spaces available. Highlights for the day will include regular TMP contributor Mollinary running a participation game for the battle of Gitschin (1866), which I am sure will be both spectacular and enjoyable. Noted author Mike Embree will also be present, so bring your copies of his books along to get them autographed. Come along and join us to meet old friends, make new ones, and enjoy some terrific games.

No charge up front, just a fiver on the door on the day. Sign up here:
