We continued learning the rules for Johnny Reb III. Steve and Lee (Confederation) and the Union (Jim and Richard). Steve charged the Union right side of the line and routed Jim. The Union middle charged the confederate left flank that had retreated from their charge. They were forced back again. The Union left flank (Richard) charged the Confederate right flank (who did not advance the entire game). At this point the Confederates conceded the game.
Johnny Reb: Old Fashioned Miniature Game
We have decided to start back with doing large scale miniature games with hundreds of figures on the table and classic rules. Our first objective is the try the Johnny Reb American Civil War game by Njohn Hill.
Johnny Reb III is a game of Grand Regimental tactics of the American Civil War, using miniatures from 10mm to 25mm.The game comes with rules set and 4 Reference cards for 15mm miniatures. There are other reference cards available for the other scale miniatures for extra cost. Players will have to supply their own miniatures and paint them. Some scenarios are available for purchase but the fun of the game is researching your own battles from the ACW period to recreate.
The first edition was published by Adventure Games in 1983. GDW released a 2nd edition with minor changes in 1988, with a scenario book “To the Sound of the Guns” the same year. Johnny Reb III, published by John Hill in 1996 is a very different game, with major changes to the scale (1″:50 vs 1″:40 yards, 1:30 vs 1:20 men, artillery batteries vs sections) and games mechanisms.
3D Examples to Be Printed
Finished the low profile river banks and am ready to start the low profile rural roads.. After that, the plan is to do a castle wall breach and some more table top hills.
Haven’t been able to play any games for awhile. Everyone seems to have alternate plans crop up st the last moment. But, Marvel Zombies is painted and ready to go followed by Pandemic Cthulhu. Hopefully, we will get a large scale miniature game on the table in the near future.
Getting ready to send out Elden Ring for paint.
Here are some examples of what the prints will eventually look like.
Making 3D hill terrain
Basically done with the castle and keep (need some interior painting)… next, finished some 3D hill terrain for the table top (need to paint and flock) … started the 3D river bank system.. Currently, just painted the Zombicide Marvel Heroes figures (painting example were posted).. Starting the Cthulhu Pandemic figures.. both for the MillenniumCon Convention..
Baron’s War Terrain continued
Still 3D printing the Fischer King Castle and Keep.. The Keep is completed except for half the interior spaces still need paint. The castle walls are 89% completed including painting.
