"Battle of Cedar Creek (Pickett's Charge rules)" Topic

Loughton Strike Force had 2 good looking games at Colours on Saturday. There was another run of our Winter War participation game, previously shown at Salute, and a demonstration game of Dave Brown's new ACW rule set "Pickett's Charge".

We were grateful to everyone that stopped by to have a look or participate in both games. We had a great time – hope you did too.

I want to hear more about these new ACW rules. Saw the announcement over at the TFL blog.

EDIT: I must say though, that the Winter War game is beautiful! Just looking at the pictures made my feet hurt from cold.

There is a walk-through by the author at:

Thanks Brian – Dave did a walkthrough of Pickett's Charge on the GdB forum …

The underlying goal is make the focus the command and control system – and to streamline the game turn allowing larger games to be played.

You can use your Johnny Reb / Fire and Fury based armies without any modification – you will just need to add some individually based staff officers who are a key element of the command and control mechanism.

Thanks to both of you! Headed there right now.

Thanks Bill – delighted we got the look right :-)

Have the recommended base sizes remained the same as they are in "Guns at Gettysburg"?

Asgard – yes – or F&F

Thanks Teppsta!
