Next week Bob Black is visiting and we plan to play a game and generally catch up on all things wargaming.
I thought it would be fun to try out Jacobite Rising by Compass Games. However, instead of using the little wooden blocks we could play on the table, using our combined 54mm metal figure collections. The table has been set up, with the Jacobites sitting astride the main north road, cutting off Government resupply operations. A government force has been despatched to remove the blockade:

And a general view of the field, with Government forces lined up on the left, Jacobites on the right:
Looking forward to seeing your report when you play this game, lovely looking figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It will be interesting to see how this works out.
DeleteFor our vicarious delight I am pleased that you went with the glorious 54 mm figs over the wooden blocks!

Thanks James. We will see how it works out when we play, but it looks quite good.
DeleteThat layout looks outstanding, Bob. Definitely looking forward to any write-up you provide on the battle ahead. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe played half of the battle yesterday. Hoping to conclude soon and will write up a report - not looking good for the Jacobites!
