In a change from ACW being played in 28mm , some of the group have been squireling away painting(or printing and painting in Alans case)at the Epic(13mm) scale.

With enough now painted for a game Alan hosted our first game.

So 3 Union and 4 Confederate Commanders gathers for a 1st game. Alan had procured some new cloths from Temu as base cloths…looked good. All terrain printed/made by Alan.

Rebel force used by Rob (All Printed/painted by Alan).

We made the brigades all 4 regts. Each regt we have were 3 bases rather than the 5 in the Warlord Games boxes. Will will use 2 or 4 as required in games but 5 just take up to much space for the games we want to play in this scale.

Some of my ladz. I have enjoyed painting these.

Alans cheating…printing greatcoated chaps!

Robert and Russ fought at one end with the cavalry that has been painted. Lots more to come!

More China sourced add on’s…casualty counters and some yellow triangles with ! on them…we used as disorders.

The cavalry seemed to fight all game…….

I do like the feel this this size for bigger battles.

Alan has added lots of buildings he has printed/painted and woods(Temu).

In foreground Stephens troops…has painted butternut coloured Florida units for some variety….looked great. Alan has also made some small casualty counter similar to the Hail Caesar ones….. he ordered red dice…..got orange……Temu.

More Union advancing.

End of game(Thursday night…some of us are still working so finished 10ish).

So that was the first game in Epic scale. We got to move some troops around…were some combats…shooting…and play around with moving/shooting ranges etc. I enjoyed it…looked very good!!
