Beaumont's Battle and an ACW Preview

One more WotR fighting unit musters out from the painting table.  These 47 figures make up Beaumont's Battle.  Figures are 28mm Perry Miniatures' plastics.  This body of infantry represents the eleventh such Battle to march out from the painting desk.  No banners yet but with luck, Pete's Flags will produce a set someday.
Of course, eleven such Battles is more than enough for a standard game, but I have the figures and now I have many options.  There is a body of pikemen at the painting desk but those fellows keeping getting pushed back in the queue as WSS French regiments keep cutting in line.  Four such French units are finished with a fifth in work.  Oh, a second order to Ebor is off for reinforcements.  
On the gaming front, Vol joined me in a Saturday game to refight our earlier Battle of Salem Church.  Having tasted a narrow Federal defeat in our first game, Vol wanted to try again to see if the result was different.  Sounds similar to the definition of insanity.  Anyway, Vol has a BatRep up on his blog.  The outcome can be seen at 2nd Battle of Salem Church.

One more Salem Church iteration with Peter this week and then time to pack it all away and ponder what next.

  3. With your amazing numbers, you will be able to do 'anything' with your WotR forces and do it in some magnificence and style.
