Seize The Hill!

Oh-oh, another post that has nothing to do with tanks!   But that's okay.  Instead of starting yet one more blog, I think I will throw down pictures that I like, which don't really suit the privates eternal or Battling With Britains blogs, over here. 

   Being currently fascinated by the Spanish-American War provided the rough inspiration for this game.  Also, it was a nice excuse to put some Hinchcliff and Dixon (and others?) figs on the table.  Here are some pics:


The "Not-Spanish" hold the hill blocking the way to the capital!


And they have a captured Gatling Gun!?!


Which fires up the "Not-Americans" with greater determination: "How dare those Not-Spanish use weapons of Mass Destruction!!"




Sir Teddy leads the Rough Runners in a charge towards the hill!


 
"Cover them, Men!"
 

"Charge!!"


Both Generals fall in close combat!


The "Not-Spanish" forces flee.


Great game!  The rules were Donald Featherstone's Horse and Musket ones, with the command rules of Black Powder.  The combination worked very well.   Thanks for looking.
