[Fox1]

Okies once again the battle of gettysburg anniversary (july 1-3) will be upon us and it maybe time to blow the dust off the troops and get them good ole boys back into action anyone interested? if so sign up or make your mark here date for a game would be say July 13th this is the first stags in july and provided we dont have about 400 people wanting to play, this is what seems to be playing in the WW2 right now :) we shouldnt affect anyone in the hall and it shouldnt affect the warhammer or the ww2 campaign dates.

Should be around with a single regiment of Georgians if I can get them painted in time:) , that is if the Rebs can put up with a newbie (this would be game number 2 so deduce what you wish:D ), may need to borrow a regiment or two again Alan if thats ok:D

[Fox1]

[KingTiger]

I'll be there, with me 3 blocks of the brave men in blue (and green) painted up

well I only paint to gaming standards, so that makes things a little quicker, I find thats best when its blocks of troops, they usually look fine from the distance on the table :D

[JeffH]

2nd 3rd 4th 5th and 6th Regiments of Vermont are ready for action with 1 unit of dismounted cavalry and 1 mounted in support if required.

2 Batteries of Artillery are in close support for the Infanrty

[Matty]

I'll be there with my 1st Georgia Regulars for Confederates (turns out that Georgia actually raised a few union regiments as well lol) and whatever Mr Davies is kind enough to lend me on the day:D

[BigMark]

Firstly I'd like to take this oppertunity to congratulate our opponants Andy and Jeff for their victory in todays hard fought battle , I'd also like to thank Alan for running an excellent game and the terrain looked fantastic as always . And I'd like to say to my fellow Southern Generals we'll get them God darn Yankees next time , and next time my dice rolls may be alot better lol . Sometime I'll finish my army off so I'll have more Rebs on the field of glory to hopefully push back the wall of Blue Bellies , when I get a chance I'll paint up more recruits from Louisiana for the Confederacy so once again cool battle shame we couldn't do more against them Yankees but never mind all that matters is that it was a great battle and everyone enjoyed themselves .

[Fox1]

Thanks mark il be posting some pix and stuff later on:)

[JeffH]

As much as its nice to win for a change I like to say thanks to all players today. The game was played in a good spirit and made the day very enjoyable. Although we won (well mainly Andy) I think part was some very bad dice rolls on Rebel side however being rebellious scum we on the blue side have little sympathy LOL.

Looks like Col Sanders receipe will soon be in Union hands.

Long Live the Union

[Matty]

Thankyou for the game everyone, especially to Alan for organising it and congratulations go to Andy and Jeff for giving us a good proper trouncing lol:D Enjoyed the game but next time I hope to have more of my own troops (and maybe my cannons will be painted lol)

[Fox1]
