Taster for Sunday 25th. March 2013.(9 months until Xmas)

Here are a few photos to whet your appetite for Sunday.Dave has brought along his American Civil War figures to stage the battle of Seven Pines or Fair Oaks,1862. This is the Salvation Army signalling for more coffee and biscuits!-Watchtower,gettitt!!!


Breastworks to be defended in the centre of the Union lines.


Shot showing the Confederate right flank,below.


This shows the converging Union and "rebel" troops,heading towards the station.


This is the central position,station and woods,and breastworks,by shere coincidence the Confederate troops have been placed underneath the Confederate flag on the wall!!.


You can see the Union troops moving in from the left flank to counter the "rebel" attack through the woods and in the centre.



Hopefully this will be a tremendous game,and Dave has promised to write a full game report,I will look forward to that,roll on Sunday.
