Cool find, mirth! Thanks for sharing.
Nice find, Mirth. Thank you!
theyre great - now if only you can make it turn based
You're welcome guys. I came across it on Reddit and knew you guys would enjoy. The site has a great collection of static maps as well. Some good stuff for sure.
That's absolutely incredible. I was captivated by the Antietam one, a battle I have always found to be fascinating.
Thanks Mirth.
Antietam was the first one I watched. It's my 'favorite' ACW battle. I had an epic gaming experience with it a couple years ago. We still talk about it in my local gaming group.
I used to have a copy of SPI's Antietam game from the GBCW series and played it a lot.

I'll have to see if I can find pics of the minis game we did. It was a blast. One of the best table top gaming experiences I've had and my side lost.
Be interested to see that. What rules did you use?
We used to use the 'Johnny Reb' rules with 15mm figs, and also 'Blood & Iron', which is a computer-moderated game using 20mm figs.

I think the game we did was Fire and Fury. We've done some Johnny Reb III too. I'm pretty sure the Antietam game was F&F.
Ah, I seem to remember F&F stuff, although never actually played it - was it brigade level based units?

Yeah, that's FF. I'm terrible with the ACW gaming. I always get the rules sets mixed up. Each time we play, I have to relearn the system. Usually, I'm like 'just tell me what to roll'.
This is truly fascinating observations and animations. Thanks!
There was something released about 6-8 years ago - wish I could remember the name of the publisher, but they did Civil War battles on CD. Interactive maps, narrations, modern day photos compared with Civil War era ones...all kinds of cool stuff. I need to go look for those now and see if I still have them.
