I have been able to game actions I would never have been able to if relying on using painted figures simply because I am a very slow painter. As the blocks use standard military symbols the look is very much akin to a 3d military map!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-55484984975067304842012-09-30T03:38:48.447+01:002012-09-30T03:38:48.447+01:00Hi David,

The National Battlefield Park is huge, with lots of markers for the units involved, but being a two-day battle, it can be confusing as to where a unit was on day one or day two. <br /> An excellent volume is available on "Wargames Vault" for download, called "River of Death" by Brad Butkovich. It contains a dozen scenarios from the battle, and extensive OOBs.
