Title: Set Up for Cedar Mountain, August 9, 1862
Post by: kipt on 18 September 2022, 04:52:35 PM
This weekend we set up two "identical" (as much as we could make them) for the Battle of Cedar Mountain, General Stonewall Jackson against Federal general Banks.

Here are some of the setup pictures.

The battle will happen next Saturday using Brigade Fire and Fury, with 8 players; 4 per table and 2 per side.

Great looking setup. 

You are very organised, having everything setup 5 days ahead of the game (and lucky to have the space to setup). Normally I'm pleased if a game is setup 30mins before the players arrive!

With the two tables, are you playing the game twice, or is it a double blind setup?

Same game twice, but different players at each table.  Will see how the games turn out.

Hi

Great looking table and playing with one of my all time favourite set of rules.

I'm currently half way through S C Gwynnes biography of Jackson 'Rebel Yell' (and thoroughly enjoying it) so look forward to more photos and an account of how things went (please).  ;)

Cheers Paul
