"…I pulled out the Bloody Lane scenario from the back of the Pickett's Charge rulebook. Dan Kerrick, Roy Scaife, John Lantz, and Adrian Turner all came over. Roy, John and Adrian ran the Union brigades that had to assault and capture the central running road. The Confederates had to hold it. This is a well known part of the larger battle of Antietam from 1862…"

Very nice work indeed, especially as a war game. The figures are beautiful and the fencing looks more the part than most representations. Nice looking maize, although very densely planted. The fields were planted so as to allows access for tending and harvesting, not like todays mechanised versions. A minor observation, but there were no Confederate cannons in the sunken lane. Longstreet, in the original action supervised his staff working a battered battery near the Piper farm, at the rear of the lane. Overall, excellent stuff indeed. Best wishes, Chris |
