I think that in these circumstances, I would have chosen to retreat the Confederates towards the side or corner of the battlefield that was not already controlled by the Union forces .

I like making up semi serious names for the commanders and the ACW has plenty of scope given the actual names of people like Braxton Bragg.<br /><br />The flexible seutp is largely from necessity, but I am considering getting 2mm figures and creating a physically portable wargame with a cloth sheet and cutout terrain pieces. <br /><br />Next battle might be using the ACW figures with Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587938750309743961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17100370.post-84882370719782280012020-01-04T16:35:38.488+00:002020-01-04T16:35:38.488+00:00Those will come as I get a chance to play.
