If you click on any of them you will therefore see a bigger, more detailed picture.<br /><br />If you have a Google/Blogger ID you can post comments - which will appear on the site. Feel free to add clarifications etc.<br /><br />We used standard Fire & Fury and 10mm figures from a number of manufacturers, mostly Pendraken or Minifigs. With 4 players per side, many of whom were new to the rules, we still managed to play to a de-facto conclusion in maybe 12 hours of game time.<br /><br />If you want to mail me with questions, please go to the main <a href="http://www.madaxeman.com/">www.madaxeman.com</a> site and mail me from there.Madaxemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15930362151308608852noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957795486319544313.post-53213675170046527232008-11-16T13:51:00.003+00:002008-11-17T19:46:44.104+00:00The EndAt 5:00pm in the afternoon, the battered Confederates realise their best chance has now gone for the day, and decide to pulll back their many, many spent brigades and regroup.<br /><br />The Union breathe a sigh of relief, and start the long process of restocking.<br /><br />In the Confederate camp, Lee is able to tell Longstreet that the right flank attack has failed, and maybe tomorrow the weakened Union center is the place to attack.<br /><br />Lees logic is impeccable. With Picketts division relatively unscathed, they can lead the attack.<br /><br />And surely they cant roll 1's again tomorrow....<br /><br />The endMadaxemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15930362151308608852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957795486319544313.post-92226895940723011942008-11-16T13:11:00.002+00:002008-11-17T19:46:44.105+00:00Rebels 5pm<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauGMRNeXHv-EcuR6hP12h1QTj5mCXDYoOFrwhWstJDZdZQ0KYlopxNYV16-uTlcscpIfyj4DFL_iXRQVn7QF7pQSrg6g-8OspsfQx_tZyfbF7HTTQxDYyHbKLBrS-Env2fVU82E7cNb2e/s1600-h/IMGP1495-789823.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269242356798653234" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauGMRNeXHv-EcuR6hP12h1QTj5mCXDYoOFrwhWstJDZdZQ0KYlopxNYV16-uTlcscpIfyj4DFL_iXRQVn7QF7pQSrg6g-8OspsfQx_tZyfbF7HTTQxDYyHbKLBrS-Env2fVU82E7cNb2e/s320/IMGP1495-789823.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo">Pickett throws 2 brigades into combat, and Pettigrews brigade also piles forward.
