On Saturday October 14th from 10am to 7pm Orange County, California's own figure-painter & scratch-built terrain-maker extraordinaire Frank Patterson will be running an all-day series of ACW games -- including a refight of the April 1st 1865 Battle of Five Forks, where Phil Sheridan's Union victory over George Pickett's Confederates forced Robert E. Lee to abandon the long-running defense of Petersburg and ushered in the final campaign of the American Civil War, ending in Lee's surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House less than 2 weeks later on April 12th, 1865.
Frank's games will feature:
--the area's well-established home-brew rules, "Fire And Maneuver," which use a simple and elegant method to incorporate supply and logistics limits into the tabletop tactical action;
--well-painted armies of Dixon "large" 25mm figures filled with character;
--A rotating series of tabletop layouts filled with his scratch-built terrain.
WHERE: Double-Tree by Hilton Buena Park hotel, 7000 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620
