1863 and Gettysburg to Premier at Historicon

Next week we will be premiering the 1863 expansion at Historicon, and playing the Battle of Gettysburg.  This event will show off some of the new rules in the expansion, as well as the elements of the recently released Gettysburg battlepack.

This will be my first trip to Historicon, so it should be very exciting.  The convention is held in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is the sight of two major battles of the Civil War.  I will try to take a tour of the battlefield at some point, but may be gaming too much to have a chance.

If you will be at Historicon, please come visit and join us for our game.

Battle of Gettysburg Battlepack Released

The long-awaited Battle of Gettysburg Battlepack has just been released.  In this battlepack, players choose one of the three days of the battle, and duke it out using the generals and units of those times.  The player can then put the maps from all three days together to play the entire battle using special army rules and stats for Lee and Meade.

The Battle of Gettysburg Battlepack is available on Wargame Vault:

Set-up Miniature Shots

These were some set-ups done for some of the books that were created using terrain by Shawn Hendrix.

Command Combat: Civil War at Fort MacArthur Days

A while back we showed Command Combat: Civil War at Fort MacArthur Days.  It's an impressive event where reenactors from every era gather to show what they can do.  Their World War II event even had fighter planes flying overhead!  HMGS Pacific Southwest were showing several of their games at the event, and we were lucky enough to be one of them.  These are pictures of our game, the HMGS booth, and the event.

Command Combat: Civil War at Model Kit Expo

 Command Combat: Civil War made an appearance at the Model Kit expo a while back.  They gave us prime real estate right in the middle of the convention.  I put up the First Battle of Bull Run.  We got a lot of kids running up to try it out and they played a pretty good game.  The Confederates made a push up across the southern bridge, hitting the Union division before it could get far onto the baord.  The Union, meanwhile, struck on the opposite side of the board, hitting the Confederate reinforcements as they came up the road, taking out at least some infantry and artillery along the way.
