Game Play via remote - ACW

Did a miniatures game today via remote.

I see now more why it is good to have the 'flying camera' that we have used.

These are 15mm miniatures and it was based on a historical situation that I could look up online.

My command  was Kearney's Divison, mostly veterans with exceptional commanders, I simply swung one brigade out to the far right of my line and delivered fire into the otherwise open flank of advancing Confederate brigades.

The rest of the battle was holding ground as long as possible.

first major encounter Confederates pushed back Burney's brigade, though only one stand lost

a much clearer picture of the situation (I did not get to see this until after the game)  - thank you Chris for the photos and the use of your laptop for the game!

this was the 'freeze frame' after 5 hours, when a data stream problem happened at the broadcast location - thank you McLean for hosting at the War Dungeon

Final action was a big push back from the Union lines of Kearney's Division and the Confederates never got within a full move of the crossroads.

McLelland continued his march south and began the evacuation of the Peninsula.
