Picket's Charge Rules at Molesworth

Dave & Stuart set up an ACW battle to show Chis & show us how Picket's Charge Rules work.  Chris & I commanded the Union.  Given our un-familiarity with the rules we adopted a defensive strategy.

The Union is in the foreground.

The Confederates are attacking on both flanks.  Well sited Union artillery have severely weakened the Confederate centre while both flanks are holding their ground.

The Confederate attack has run out of steam & they concede the battle.

The rules have some interesting aspects & seem to provide a good simulation, but their mechanisms are cumbersome compared with our M2M.
