Earlier this week I was fortunate to have a visit from a local wargamer and we played the Alter of freedom scenario for 1st Manassas. There is a full write up with lots of pictures on my blog. link |

Very cool stuff. First Manassas has always been the battle that most intrigues me. Small scales like 2mm suit gaming the battle because of the nature of the deployment. I really like your table and the bases look very sharp. I haven't played Altar of Freedom but I've heard good things. The artillery mechanics sound interesting. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it. |

What is the base size? Is a base a brigade? |

Elenderil – very well executed Sir! (I'm going back to your link here, to look and read this more in-depth….like a sponge) Btw, did you ever complete your 2mm ECW rules? |
| Elenderil | 31 Jan 2023 12:54 p.m. PST |
Leaf fan – I left it that way to see if you would spot it…honest! 79thPA – base sizes are 60 x 30mm and each base is a brigade, artillery battery or an HQ, or if it's a 30 x 30mm base a general and their staff. Flyxwire – I have a completed enough for me set of the ECW rules. Message me via comments on the blog and I will email a set if your interested. I won't post the comment to the blog if it has your email address though |
