So my son Max and I set up a played a game based on Charge.
Each side had 2 Brigades of Infantry each of 2 regiments of 24 figures and a battery of 2 guns.
The rebels advanced across the open ground. The Louisiana Tigers leading the 4th Texan as the sunlight glinted off to the bayonets.
With flags fluttering in the gentle breeze.
The Union are not slow to respond. Tge Iron Brigade moves forward to provide support
A rebel yell is heard and repeated across the battle field
Grim faced the New York Zoauves are determined to stand.
But the rebel attacks sweeps them away and allows the 4th Texans to turn on the 20th Maine holding Gordon's Farm.
The 4th Texan charge down the Gordonsville Pike is too much for the 20th Maine who turn and run. With only the Iron Brigade left in fighting shape the game is up.
A fun way to spend a couple of hours. Perhaps I can persuade Max to play a Garden game of Fire and Fury next.

Fantastic looking game.
Great looking game! Next you could fight the battle of Grapvine Bridge, provided you have a grapevine in the garden!
Lovely Mark. Cracking looking units.
What fun! Did the two of you don striped blazers and boater hats though?
Best Regards,
Stokes

Superb garden games, thanks for sharing. More such weather on the way.
These look pretty god in the grass, what are they 40mm?
Sadly no Grapevine however plenty of other vegetables and salads are now being grown.
No special clothing is required. The right attitude is all that us needed and the odd cool beer.
Hi Rob
They are 28mm - mostly painted over 20 years ago. My lawnmower has a close cut so the figure size works and more importantly stand up OK as well.
