Bull Run 1861 - another run at the Kelsey center, from 09h30 to 14h30

 This games day went off much better than the first attempt in November 2023.

 


 I had a four player start for the game, though at one point there were three other watchers of the match, one player dropped out after 2 pm.

If you watch the video you will see a proper divisional attack form, with two brigades in front line and one support brigade to the rear, the Division command in the center - like a text book - even though one brigade was shaken, having taken fire and I had given no details like this to the totally new player to the game.  It was nice to see this happen.  I took some extra photos of this moment and share them here, you can see the division line form in the video in the top left corner at 2:30 mark of the time-lapse.

The game did not go to the end of the turn limit, though we got in way more than last time.

Next game day is February 18, 2024, I am hoping to do some Pulp games and maybe have Rob come along to handle his award winning terrain.
