This game was played using Neil Thomas's ACW OHW rules - to explain the dice marking unit strength; a White 1 = ten. If there are two black dice add the pips shown together.
The Union objective is to exit 3 units (at any remaining strength) from the table. Only the CSA force may enter the wooded areas.
 |
| Opening positions - CSA hold 2 fords. The bridge is unguarded |
 |
| The Union forces advance rapidly but are taking fire |
 |
| The Union force has largely crossed the river by turn 5 |
 |
| By turn 7, the first Union unit is exiting as casualties mount on both sides |
 |
| The CSA cavalry (top of pic) have destroyed a Union Cavalry unit and now attack the artillery |
 |
The Union Cavalry unit has exited the table with a single strength point
The last CSA Infantry unit has been destroyed
|
 |
| The third Union unit is free to exit, leaving the artillery men to their fate. Union victory. |
A fast, bloody affair, but good fun.
That WAS fast n furious! Lovely looking game (and thanks for the dice clarification. I may ‘steal’ that idea….!). So, only seven more to go through? Very much enjoy reading these 👍🏼👍🏼
ReplyDeleteThe OHW games can be very fast!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff Jack. This is perfect for ACW stuff - and could be great for doing a Peninusla campaign of linked battle or similar.
ReplyDeleteCheers Duc! Hope you enjoy the Festive Season and have yourself some merry gaming
