Regimental Fire & Fury game played - Olustee 20th February 1864

Game at Stephens today (our first in 5 weeks !!) using Rgt F&F and a scenario contained in main rules Olustee set in Florida in 1864.

I was attacking with Rebs against his Yanks in an area of mainly open woods and swamps but with central area of open (ie killing) ground.

After a long catch up session (I was in England and he in USA) we managed to play through 5 turns with minimal queries easily resolved with this well written set.

So did not complete game but Rebs going to be up against it as Union had managed to deploy all its artillery backed up by a deadly unit armed with repeating rifles (these get double fire factors and a +4 to shooting if fresh !!), was going to a bloody advance (ala Mr Pickett) into teeth of this.

Do like these rules as they generate a nice flavoursome game and was great to back to gaming.

All kit from Stephens 15mm collection (the area enclosed by string is the open sector)
