ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Saturday 28 November 2020

From my side of the table... The Potomac Campaign 2

 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.




Hurrah!

Boo!


Hurrah!

Boo!

Hurrah!



Boo!


Hurrah!


Boo!

Hurrah! 

Glorious days indeed...
It was a very enjoyable game and clearly a victory for the good guys...

All the best.  Aly

  1. 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.
    Always good to see the gamers from the lead belt in action!

    1. The Zouaves are very nice Jonathan...
      It’s more of a suggestion of a poor memory of a battle report 😂...

    1. Quite right sir... one does not need a hyperbolic display to describe a great victory... It speaks for itself...

    1. Alan does a fine job on our portraits... Steve (May) always manages to look very 19th century...
