The Battle Of Pleasant Valley (Part 1). (What's On The Table At The Moment)


Having a game using my 30mm O.S. ACW Spencer Smith figures, a small force of Federal Cavalry and Infantry are trying to reach and cut the Virginia Pike which is held by a Rebel force of Infantry . The Federal force is coming onto the table at the bottom of the photo . (click on photo to enlarge)


Rush's Pennsylvania Lancers and Horse Artillery move onto the board . I am using Featherstones Horse and Musket rules and the game will last eight moves.


Garnett's Brigade deployed by the Virginia Mansion , Sawmill Hill is behind them .


The Rebel artillery on the slopes of Sawmill Hill opens fire ! 


And is on target ! causing casualties on the Lancers as they pass the Quaker Meeting House.



Rebel reinforcements, the Virginia Black Cavalry .


A period shot of the Federal Infantry (Mead's Brigade) moving onto the table .

    Looks good as always. Are you using the original ones from Wargames? or one of his later versions?
