I've tried the Portable Wargame with 2mm blocks and for me it was a good combination! I look forward to reading more of your battle reports. Next battle might be using the ACW figures with the Portable Napleonic Wargame or a WW2 action.Ī very interesting battle report, which I will mention (with suitable links to your blog) on my blog on Monday.

The flexible seutp is largely from necessity, but I am considering getting 2mm figures and creating a physically portable wargame with a cloth sheet and cutout terrain pieces. I like making up semi serious names for the commanders and the ACW has plenty of scope given the actual names of people like Braxton Bragg. I like your felt mat as being a sight more flexible and portable than by plywood sheets! I've tended to favour the hex grids, but have a small table set up with a 10x10 grid (10cm squares). After a string of defeats, the Government forces are making a comeback.

Lately I have been conducting the 'Long Live the Revolution' Campaign from Bob Cordery's 'Developing the Portable Wargame'. Like you, I have enjoyed the Portable Wargame rule sets and have used them for anything from 11th Century Byzantines to WW2. Other commanders I've swiped from a number of sources, General Jubilation T. I have a similarly named one Scraxton Scragg. Table after the Confederates and Union have have their first moves. Next activation was the Union with general Clifford Mountain bringing on a mixture of infantry, artillery and cavalry. The Confederate general Graxton Cragg brought on one of his artillery and all his cavalry to start moving towards the hill with Firefly Church. This meant that it was not the usual turn by turn activation, but for time passing I count each card turn as a turn. I used the optional playing card activation system for the game with both generals treated as average to keep it simpler. The numbers are probably a little small for the size of table, but to keep the playing time down I wanted to keep them manageable.
