"I picked up a copy of Summer Storm, scenarios for the battle of Gettysburg by Brad Butkovich. Like other books in the series it provides an excellent starting point for Regimental battles with the three day Battle broken down into about 12 scenarios, I have found in the past the largest of these can then be broken down again to fit my collection. However, with Martin bringing his collection over at the weekend we were able to tackle the Peach Orchard in one go. The battle of course is massively well documented, for those with an interest there are a couple of really good U tube summaries of the action which give both the background and the development of the action around the Peach Orchard July 2nd 1863…"

Mastercraft there!

High-fidelity presentations, and excellent historical relevance from research to tabletop.

Armand, thanks for the link – I've got Matt Crump's blog here on my favorites list now.

We just gamed that same scenario with Brigade Fire & Fury rules. Finished with a similar generally historical outcome. Here's the like to some photos and overview.

Very nice figures and good terrain especially for a war game.

Best wishes,

Chris

It does look fantastic. If it matters fences get way under used in Gettysburg games, the area was so over fenced its ridiculous. Many were doubled up making paths to get to fence locked pastures.

Glad you like it too…
