Preparing for the Sunken Lane 1862




The Pickett's Charge rules have an introductory scenario covering the attack on the Sunken Lane at Antietam 1862.

As a follow on from the last post, comparing four ACW sets of rules, I have put the 'Bloody Lane' scenario on the table to use with Pickett's Charge rules and if I have time, will perhaps re-run it with one of the other rules sets, probably Black Powder.

The scenario allows a free set up, so I have Confederate vets on the left (Rodes) and Union green troops (Morris) on their left, to see how that works out.

The table is 6'  x just under 4', the figures are 12mm Kallistra.

Here is a short video of dispositions as a warm-up to the battle (full screen link below).
