Greetings...
This is the next instalment of my involvement in Alan Perry’s Potomac Campaign...
The Battle at Point of Rocks...
Once again I shall refer you to Alan’s reasonably accurate account as my only recollection was that it was glorious...

“As I recall I took possession of the ridge and as the tidal wave of secessionists washed against my bastion I had the pleasure of watching a great victory unfold below me.
General Ebenezer Leonidas Luckless the Third.

It’s been a cracking campaign to read, if nothing else it’s made me determined to get some mini campaigns up and running in 2021.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see the gamers from the lead belt in action!
It’s been a lot of fun Graham...
DeleteHopefully there will be lots of Lead Belt action next year...
All the best. Aly

Fabulous looking game, Aly! The Zouaves in light blue with yellow trim are gorgeous! Thank you for the battle report.

Great looking game Aly and your succinct narrative provides sufficient tactical and strategic analysis, without becoming bogged down in monotonous minutiae!

DeleteWonderful photo story Aly and I always laugh at your gaming crews wonderful photoshopping skills when it comes to generals of the day. I always find yours the most believable. Well done General Luckless!
ReplyDeleteAlan does a fine job on our portraits... Steve (May) always manages to look very 19th century...
DeleteAll the best. Aly
What a joy to play in such a visual spectacle of a game! No doubt, despite advancing years, your memories of a resounding triumph are reliable...to a point?
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a lot of fun David...
DeleteI have missed it a lot...
I almost certainly remember almost everything as if it was yesterday...I think.
All the best. Aly
As you say Luckless... a victory for the good guys!
