25mm A.C.W Campaign part 1

25mm A.C.W. campaign
Will all my ACW figures now painted and that's taken  over 30 years. I know its a long time but then we do paint other things do we not?
Now most campaigns start with a map good place to start but why make things easy .So just lade out a table diced to see wear on the map the table well be magic. When the next table go down it can join the map if it next to the first table then it has to join up but if not all's well. So far so good keep up

All regiments are had minima training so none have had any battle experience and march discipline is poor ( dice will see when they get on the table ) Making Morale poor as well
Union has 4 Regiments of foot and one Cavalry
Confederates 4 Regiments of foot

Both sides are to take and hold town (Smithville) as it has a watermill .








A USA Regiment on the table  Mover 1
CSA Regiment on the table move 1
Move 3 USA cavalry on table by move 4 over taken infantry on the road
Move 5 CSA has 2 more regiments on the table moving down the road
Move 6 USA Cavalry now near the bridge
All that can be seen through my periscope of the CSA troops on the bridge not a lot
Move 7 Lances move in to contacted

Melee Lancers win first melee then Move 8 second melee Infantry win
Moral both units want to go home so pull back
Lancers pulling back poor Morale dice
Move 10 Regiment lodes wepons

Move 14 CSA form line lode and fire USA fire


USA troops move in to town to try a flanking move on the bridge





USA moving over and round wall slow them down
Move16 CSA troop moving to the right flank on a wall

Move 17 USA troops now start to form a line for a push up to the river road and stop CSA lining the wall with troops
Move 19 USA troops move forward to the bridge

25/28mm Welsh v Anglo/Danes of Saga at WAR clubnight

25/28mm Welsh v Anglo/Danes at WAR club night
Mike now using his Welsh I'm still sticking with my Anglo/Danes
Just stand up fight
My luck was out on the night last a few figures in turn 4 Mikes dice all ways good for him
mine just as bad as you could get .
Last move of the game I just had to go in with what I had left you know what it like poo or bust.
Did not have a lot left on the table after that move but a fun game.
George then used his Breton v Mikes Welsh . Poor Mike could not save any of his figures and with no hits at all on the Bretons one game to George .
