COMBAT: Union Infantryman VERSUS Confederate Infantryman

What is the largest ACW miniatures game you have ever seen? I am working on doing the entire battle of Gettysburg in 10mm.

We did a game with three Confederate and five Union Corps in 15mm – used the Volley and Bayonet rules and took about three days to finish

We did Gettysburg in 15mm using Brigade level Fire and Fury but on bases designed for 28mm. All laid out on the floor of an Orangery some 30ft by 18ft, if my memory serves!

Vicksburg (26ft x 6ft) Historicon 2004 and 2014 Recon, Hurricon 1999 Chattanooga (35ft x 6ft) Historicon 2011, Recon 2002 Fredericksburg (the most figure stands at over 600) Too many times to remember

Gettysburg in 15mm using Johnny Reb III. Can't even recall how long and deep the table was. Started on a Friday night and Finished on Sunday. Union victory though the Rebs did slightly better than historical.

30ft by 18ft You must have long arms!

Antietam with 15mm regimental JR2. Took three days to finish. Don't remember the size of the table but we could barely reach across it.

Mr Jones, "Laid out on the floor" refers to the game!
