I played in a Pike and Shot game using The Pikeman's Lament rules in the morning and then a Rebels and Patriots game in the afternoon. Both periods were well attended and everyone seemed to have a good time.
Here are a few photos from the day.

The British cavalry was deployed on the left. They planned to move around the American flank and try to cut off the retreat while the British foot troops occupied the Americans. Unfortunately, the cavalry ran into some American sharpshooters. Then the cavalry decided to shift their advance to the center of the map.

Great looking games. Thanks for the captions as the posts on the NHMGS FB only had pictures. A nice gathering which I failed to attend.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I try to remember that people aren't always familiar with what is happening and so mentioning the rules really helps.
