Yes it was very similar to McPherson's Ridge I just added a little more terrain.<br /><br />Yes I'd like to link together some of the NT scenarios for a campaign. Possibly allow the attacker to select the next scenario in the campaign and have forces that go from one scenario to the next, but adding reinforcements.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-16824129782603824562016-04-10T10:52:07.703-04:002016-04-10T10:52:07.703-04:00Forward Iron Brigade! *THWACK*!Forward Iron Brigade! *THWACK*!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-10731654115922588612016-04-10T01:31:31.378-04:002016-04-10T01:31:31.378-04:00Enjoyable game report.

Think of the possibilities for World War II games where you can have a small command post or a few radio operators, officer, and fellow with binoculars on a stand. Now you can have a reason to use them in the game!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-53588366393486964902016-04-09T15:47:45.145-04:002016-04-09T15:47:45.145-04:00enjoy, Darren.

I'm liking them more and more.<br /><br />I've played a few AWI battles and they're not bad for any Horse and Musket period. Some advice - many people play them once and don't like them (myself included!) They were an acquired taste with me and I liked them after coming back to them after a brief hiatus.<br /><br />I also have been starting to hack them and change a few things around, which is also part of the enjoyment!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-91438209201533850132016-04-09T14:42:25.066-04:002016-04-09T14:42:25.066-04:00Like that rally rule! :-) Like that rally rule! :-) Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-27315305935357990992016-04-09T14:42:11.850-04:002016-04-09T14:42:11.850-04:00Like that rally rule! :-) Like that rally rule! :-) Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-88250374085134503932016-04-09T13:12:52.571-04:002016-04-09T13:12:52.571-04:00Excellent writeup sir.
