On Friday the 15th July after approximately a three year gap the 15/18mm ACW figures were out again at New Buckenham for a return to Fire & Fury gaming. The scenario was based on day two of Gettysburg when Union General Sickles decided unilaterally to advance his division into the peach orchard, wheat field and Devils Den just to the north of Little Round Top breaking the cohesiveness of the Union defensive line, resulting in Longstreet launching an assault in this area.
I had Sickles command with reserves hopefully arriving soon? Hood attacked on my left with McLaw on my right. After an initial success against McLaw my diabolically bad dice rolling of late returned and with the union reserves delayed the confederates were able to punch through the centre down the Wheatfield Road.
The game was called as a Southern victory but the main objective of just getting an ACW game played again and refreshing our rules knowledge was achieved. More on my blog at Jabba's Wargaming Tony. |
