Another Joust Picture

Here's another picture of my jousters.  I modified the stat sheets to include the picture of the knight.



I'm looking for a set of plastic bleachers for the spectators has anyone seen anything in 1/18 scale that would work.   If not I might get the castle from Schleich and use that.   Thanks  Gary

New area of interest Joust from Two Hour Wargames

Got Joust from Two Hour Wargames when it first came out and have found that I really enjoy it as I do all of Ed's games.   Here are some pictures of my Knights that I'm starting to collect.

I am starting to collect Schleish and Papo.  Found out that Bibi are a little small and don't match well with the otheres.



More to follow.

15mm Chariot Stadium - First Look

We the release of TwoHour Wargames new Chariot racing game I have started the first design of my racing stadium.





This is the basic startup of the layout. The Dolphins in the middle will be painted gold and mounted on a bar so they can mark the laps.




Better idea of how the corner will look. The statue on the end will be painted an antique bronze.





The straightaway zones will be 8" x 4.5" with each spot 2" x 1.5". I am still working on how to setup the corners haven't decided yet.

More to come soon.

3mm ACW Gettysburg 7pm turn Game End

The final turn of the game and in the rebel move they assault the town and the ridge line in a bid to win the game.

A closer view of the final confederate assaults on the town and the ridge. The massed artillery on the ridge and by the town are ready to support the attack.

With a rebel yell the confederates stormed the ridge and destroyed the union inf brigades in the town and on the flank and overran an artillery battalion outside the town.

A close up of the massed confederate artillery on the ridge.

The situation at the end of the confederate turn. They own the town and the ridge and it looks like the only thing the union can try for now is a draw by taking back the ridge.

The union push forward their desperate assault to regain the ridge.

And failed completely. Both assaults on the ridge didn't dislodge the rebels. Decisive victory to the confederates as they hold both the town and cemetery ridge.

The final positions on the map at the end of the game. I hope you have enjoyed this action. I am working on finishing the troops for the 2nd day of Gettysburg and hope to be able to set this up by July.

3mm ACW Gettysburg 6pm turn

The confederate 6pm turn and a renewed assault all across the board. Is there time left to capture the town and cemetery ridge.

But it goes bad from the start with the brigade from Rhodes' Division failing its morale check and then routing the brigade behind it on the retreat. Can they still capture the town.

The massed rebel artillery does its job and eliminates the union brigade in the town.

The end of the 6pm confederate turn and the town is back in their hands and the assault on the right flank is working but they failed on the left flank to push back XII Corp.

The union turn and assaults across the front with a another assault on the town. Who will eventually be able to take hold of it.

The situation at the end of the 6pm turn. The union has captured back part of the town but their attacks on the flanks have failed leaving an opening for the rebels.

3mm ACW Gettysburg 5pm turn

Anderson's Division arrives.

The confederates renew the assault on the town.

Early's division starts to flank the union on the left flank.

End of the rebel turn and the town is partially back in their possession.

During the union turn they occupy the town and assault the other half. Also the XII Corp arrives on the union right flank to stem Early's flanking attempt.

Rally round the flag! The union assault on the town is devastating. 3rd Division XI Corp does the job and retakes the town.

Here's the situation at the end of the 5pm turn.

3mm ACW Gettysburg 4pm turn

The rebel move and again an assault on the town.

The Union 2nd Brigade 1st Div was eliminated in the combat but tried to make a good account of themselves but only caused one casualty with the great roll due to saving throws.

But overall it was not a good turn for the Confederacy they destroyed one unit in the town but failed to cause any casualties on the other and lost the melee. Also the attack on the left flank failed to show any progress.

The union move and they reoccupy the town and assault the confederate brigade near cemetary ridge.

The union is looking strong at this point. This is the situation at the end of the 4pm turn.

3mm ACW Gettysburg 3pm turn

The rebel move during the 3pm turn. A major assault on their right flank and Lee and the corp commander are busy rallying routed brigades.

The combat was mixed for both sides with each losing a brigade routed but still no definite advantage for either.

The union once again assualts the town and the confederate units along their left flank.

And the town is retaken.

This is the situation at the end of the 3pm turn
