Another socially distanced club game. This was based on Cleburne's left wing hook against the Federals at Jonesborough at the conclusion of the Atlanta Campaign. In this refight, Kirkpatrick's Cavalry Division successfully delayed and disrupted the Confederate juggernaut…..then, we ran out of time. GA Smith's Division had taken up position in the hastily erected defences west of the rivers and awaited the Confederate assault. An assault that never came. The rules used were the original Fire & Fury. Almost all of the figures are Perry Miniatures.

I hadn't thought about using Fire & Fury with Perry figures--I've only seen F&F used with 15mm figures. Do rules like F&F work fairly well for 28mm? My first thought on one photo was that a Martian tripod had entered the battle, then I realized it was part of the social distancing equipment! Grelber |

For F&F, we just use the same measurements. It seems to work well. Perhaps the figures end up being slightly more bunched up in order to stay within command radius, but that's fine. |

Nice game. I'll have to break out the Fire & Fury and get reacquainted. Thanks. |
