"Game at Stephens today this time trying 'They Couldn't Hit An Elephant' rules from early TFL stable which we had tried several years ago but discounted as option (think Stephen disliked them as Aggressive troops rather overpowered and other sets came along).
We were trying a few house rules Stephen had come up with (we dumped several as unnecessary and added a couple) and a JR scenario of Gaines Mill as basis for game.

With lots of discussion we failed to finish game but hopefully did get good play test of rules and both agreed there was lots to like and seemed better than we remembered them…"

Nice minis and table

Have to say despite being an ACW gamer for 30 some years, never tried out this rule set
