Played an ACW Game this morning with Anthony, my regular opponent, using
the Osprey With Hot Lead and Cold Steel rules and my 20mm collection.
Enjoyable game - we had to call time but the Union were slightly ahead
at that point.
We haven't played the rules in quite a while so it was slightly slow as we remembered exactly how they worked, even with the 5 page synopsis I had typed up after our last game.
We both like the rules - they had a fairly easy order system, use initiative so it isn't quite Igo-Ugo and have the ability for units to fire back if shot at and they haven't fired that turn.
The units shift down in size and abilities as they lose bases and the morale tests are fairly tough so once stuff starts to run it can be difficult to rally and it can sweep the rest of the brigade along with it.
I don't know these rules, but does the wattle fence provide any 'cover'?
ReplyDeleteA very nice setup! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Roger. The snake rail fencing doesn’t block line of sight but does provide cover. Also, troops lining it can rest their weapons so get a bonus when shooting
