3mm ACW Battle of Shiloh

Here's the action of a civil war battle that I fought last year and am finally posting.

Initial board setup the hexes are 4" inches across and the board is 3x4 feet.  This was played with Volley and Bayonet rules at 1/2 scale.

The Rebels enter the fray and the board after the first turn.

A View from the Confederate lines towards the Union defenders.

The Confederates advance while the Union trys to setup a defense

While the Rebs maneuver the first blood is happening on the Union left which looks in trouble.

 

The Rebel firepower is devastating routing and destroying the first division they face.

With a Confederate division entering on their flank it doesn't look like the Union will hold.

But the Union troops around the church are holding and the second line of defense is setting up to give the Rebs a warm welcome.

The Confederates start to flank the Union.

But the Union defense around Shiloh church holds and the Rebels are being held on their right.  Sorry for the quality of the next pictures but my camera ran out of space and I had to use my IPhone for the final pics.

The Confederate advance stalls while the union adjusts their lines and the battle around the church continues.

The Union counter attacks in the center and catches a Rebel battery in the flank and destroys it.

The center blows up for the Confederates which spells the doom of their reaching their objective with any strenght of force.

These are the final positions of the battle as the Rebels decided that the losses at Shiloh church were too much and they couldn't continue.

Overall it was an enjoyable battle which was played by four members of my local gaming club.  Hope you enjoyed this action.
