We played a game of the September 1864 battle of Chickamauga last night, with much mayhem in the woods and precious few fields of fire for artillery.

Thanks, Vincent! A sprawling affair in the woods it is, indeed. I really liked Chickamauga the couple of times I played it:

Same as with The Wilderness and Spotsylvania, perversely, the notoriously heavily wooded battlefields actually promote maneuver more than they hinder it – because they limit the fields of fire for artillery. This makes for good wargames with plenty of movement.

Bloody Big BATTLES!

Thank you gents. Rhys, the gaming surface is some green paper my wife gave me a roll of. I draw the field on it with colored markers.
