Eight score years ago.......

Maybe the CWB day can have a Gettysburg theme?

No idea how that might be done, although we could hide some shoes and get Confederate players to find them. Maybe the Confederate players could hide together somewhere in the shop and the union players must find them? The Confederates might also wear blindfolds when choosing which table to play on? Possibly not allow the Confederates to have lunch either?

See. Themed.

I'm game for some of that. Happy to be a Reb.

As it is an actual game does that mean we don't do the PIGGY CHASE?

Derek

Colonel Kilgore

Do you not like chasing piggies, Derek?

Simon

Derek the "Piggy Chase" is what sets up the whole game !
Which Rebel table gets the Fence running across the table ?
Miles

Moggy

I agree. Its only that Gettysburg is a union defending battle is all.

Derek

But this is only the theme not an actual representation of the battle.
It could simply be a recon meeting as the original battle started.
Maybe your battle/table was the one that started the whole battle ?
Who knows ?
So yes the Piggy Chase as per normal.I suggest.

Derek
Normal game
Set in 1863 for your army lists

Gettysburg- 3 day battle lots corps, divisions
Your game 3hours , 2 Divisions per side
So close your eyes imagine a small part of the big battle some time during the 3 days

I'm sure you will enjoy the day
