Olustee Project: Testing out "This Hollowed Ground" Rules.

          This was another test of rules for our convention game. Kalissa and I decided to test out the rules "This Hallowed Ground." Between the to of us, we already found a big hiccup while playing. It turns out that Kalissa read the original rules for "This Hallowed Ground" where I was reading off the play sheet I got off of Jay's Wargaming Madness. After looking over the differences, Jay's reference sheet seemed to be the easier flowing rules. Besides, the violent and harshness that these rules are in the scheme of this could make this game to run at one game at a time, instead of a continuing set of games. The actions are fast and easy. We found the only things we would have to modify was based on our different regiment sizes and simple stuff, like repeating rifles to even some things out. After all, this is going to be a historical game, so some units are going to have some bonuses and handy caps. Example: the Union soldiers in this battle with repeating rifles ran out of ammo and were given replacement rifles that shot half of the time. Another example where the Georgians would raced forward, but ran out of ammo and had to withdraw to get more ammo. Fun stuff like this.
    Our game had Kalissa with the initiative to attack with the Union soldiers. I ran the Confederates and advanced forward. Through out the game, I rolled pretty good. Kalissa was taking some serious casualties by the end of the game. Her poor cavalry was destroyed fairly quick. Despite this, this shows to be a very promising outlook for using these rules. I think people are really going to have fun with these games. Either way, here are some of the photos we took. Enjoy!

I would like to say I was an idiot, because I somehow through out 3/4 of a bag of static grass I was using for my troops. This is why these Confederates' bases are not finished.
