Big enough to see but not so big as to be expensive. <br /><br />My caveat is that I want to base any ACW army so that I can port them to Regimental Fire and Fury, should we ever get a hankering for something other than Longstreet.

Many more figures to paint before I am ready for that step.<br /><br />What scale are you considering for ACW? I'm partial to 10mm but the decision really depends upon at which level you wish to game. <br /><br />As thoughts formulate, I'll note them here and you may poach without guilt.<br />Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-32383311987396668042013-02-19T05:20:40.173-08:002013-02-19T05:20:40.173-08:00You are on to something here!

It worked wonderfully and one game I lost all of the tabletop battles and still won the campaign game. To me, this is the next level of gaming...finding a tool to generate battles/campaigns to give context to each of the battles. <br /><br />The campaign game in the Maurice rules really make everything shine. People are more eager to watch the rise or decline of their army when each battle is linked and has consequences. I may be painting ACW this year so if you find something, I'll be looking to poach your ideas!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.com
