Black Powder Demo: American Civil War (Second One)

    These are photos of Kalissa's second Black Powder Demo this month. Some more people requested another demo for the rules, so we responded. This time, I was with my wife on this demo. We had four players in this game with one infantry unit and a support unit just for basic rules. Kalissa kept the game simple just to get the mechanics down. In this game, the Union forces won the day, though they lost an infantry unit in the process. Since everyone was having fun, I wonder what other demonstrations will be requested with other games. Anyway, here are the photos. Enjoy!

Black Powder Demo: American Civil War (First One)

 

     These are pictures from my wife's Black Powder demo game. Recently, my wife, Kalissa has stumbled in the position of becoming a Warlord Games Raider. It did not take that much of a push, considering we do play a lot of Warlord Games in general. Mostly, we play Bolt Action, though, we have a bunch of other rules sets from Warlord Games. Recently, a couple of people had asked about Epic Scale ACW that Warlord had released and the Black Powder rules. Since we did not get our  figures from them yet, this gave an excuse to pull out our 28mm ACW from my Olustee Project a couple of Historicons ago. Now, I was told that everything went well, and several people were there at the local Hobbytown, U.S.A. I was stuck at work. Anyway, here are the rest of the photos. Enjoy!

AAR: Black Powder: Jacobite Rising: Battle of Prestonpans 1745

   This is a game that my friend, Eric was playtesting for a future convention game. It just happened that we tested this game out at a convention. This was based on the Battle of Prestonpans 1745 during the Jacobite Rebellion. I decided to play as the Dragoons on the British side versus the Jacobites. I had another guy named Mike who ran the rest of the British against three other players: Alan, Eric's son, and Robert (I believe). Eric was running the game as the empire in typical fashion buy forgetting some key information. My wife, Kalissa pointed this out in the few walk bys to keep us in check. Example, my Dragoons suck! A great need to know information!
     Though the historical battle took 30 minutes, we happily extended it a few more hours. Like the last time I played Black Powder, I was told that my Dragoons would most likely leave the field first. However, they stayed! I was able to roll a "six" at the last moment to disorder Murray's force to make the Jacobites to abandon the field. This was the opposite of what happened. The British being "green" troops that ran! It was still fun.
