Battle Cry with 6mm on table.

Scenario is Gettysburg, second day. Devil's Den, Wheat Field, Peach Orchard and Little Round Top.



Board laid out and units in place.


Anderson's Division nearest the camera will have to pass through the woods to attack Humphrey's Division.


20th Maine sit atop Little Round Top.



Hood's Division, lower left, prepare to assault the Union left flank, with just the small problem of Devil's Den and Little Round Top ahead of them.

I will make a record of the battle which I intended to start today, but the weather has been dark clouds and heavy rain all day, not ideal for video or photography. However, tomorrow is forecast to be much better, so I will start then.
I will use dice to record casualties to each unit, and I am also adopting the C&C Napoleonic system in as much as a unit will only throw the number of dice equal to the strength it has remaining, not four dice (for infantry) even when reduced to strength one.
