Second Bull Run at Orccon 2013

We played Command Combat: Civil War at Orccon this year, fighting the Second Battle of Bull Run.  I unfortunately got to the convention late, (for some reason I thought my game was at noon, but it was supposed to be at 10.)  But Chris Rivera and Angela Rose joined me anyway and battled it out!

Angela got these wonderful pictures at the convention:
