After trying to do mass production on 10 strips at once. It's not for me. Focused just on this one strip felt less like work and more relaxing. Not worried about quality too much as they are tiny and will be part of a large group, pleased with this level, and will use this as a guide for the rest 🙂

Assaulted from the front and the right, the Union center was obliterated. A Confederate victory! Drums & Shakos gave a great game - I love the Ganesha Games activation system - but it was not a quick game. However, this was partly due to some faulty scenario design, bad dice rolling on my part (my units just didn't want to activate) and not knowing the rules very well. I'll certainly play them again! #wargaming #acw

With their reinforcements advancing to my right and getting into position to outflank me, the Confederate center let lose a rebel yell and charged forward. #wargaming #acw

I made some progress on the flank, but in the center, the attack progressed very slowly... and I knew Rebel reinforcements were on their way! #wargaming #acw

The Union sent one brigade around the Rebel's right flank, but the Rebel commander swiftly re-positioned his forces while the Union brigade assaulting the center dawdled in the fields... #wargaming #acw

Yesterday, we played a game of Drums & Shakos Large Battles set in the ACW (I made some minor modifications to the rules). The Union, with partly green troops and a tactically challenged CinC (namely me) had to assault a strong rebel position... #wargaming #acw #gaming

During the American Civil War, soldiers who had combat experience were said to “have seen the mastodon.”

This led to journalists’ shorthand for Union infantrymen “John Mastodon,” somewhat similar to the Confederate “Johnny Reb.”

A re-imagined Fire Zouave regiment in that it has a new officer and flags from the first version which now gives me two regiments. I might do a third as I still have some figures.

Here another aspect of my modelling activities, (basic) painting of 1/32 plastic miniatures aka #toysoldiers. Like this Confederate gun crew. The cannon I built from scratch using balsa wood stripes. #ACW #172scale #afvmodel #scalemodel #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #132scale

And some more union!
