Session 1: Turns 1 - 3 (Apr 27 - 29, 1863)

Continuing in late Spring 1863, Roger and I move back to the Eastern Theater along the Rappahannock!   The basic scenarios in this module recreate the Union offensive under "Fightin' Joe" Hooker as he crosses the Rappahannock River, hoping to flank Lee's Army of Northern Virginia on the edge of the Wilderness and Fredericksburg.  Come join us and please submit comments below!

This is the first playthrough of Scenario #6 - The Chancellorsville Campaign.  The Advanced Game is 10-turns, featuring Random Events, Ammunition depletion, and swweping strategic activity. In this first play, Patrick will play the Union, and Roger will play the Confederates.

The Lamps Are Going Out Turn 3 - Spring 1915

My Own Worst Enemy

Uncommon Valor (1999) is a rare Iwo Jima action published by Critical Hit. There are no other historical modules of the action that I know of, and very few regular scenarios. To my knowledge, MMP has published only one scenario that takes place on Iwo Jima.
