The Armies Muster - Gettysburg part 1

This even handed and completely unbiased report - which will run to 5 parts - is about a Funny Little Wars game based on a scaled down version of Gettysburg.  It was run by PW and took place in his garden at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, where he is Chaplain.  Pictured above is Meade's HQ and a brigade of Union troops.
Players were:
In the Blue corner the damn Yankee bluebellies - Anthony M (General Meade), Jack W and Brian C.
In the Grey corner the heroes of the Confederacy and champions of states' rights - John H as General Longstreet and your humble correspondent as General Robert. E. Lee.
Mr PW and Mr C provided most of the figures, with smaller contingents provided by Mr M and myself.

 Sorting out the toys before the battle!

 Part of my own meagre contribution - a Reb regiment together with artillery and my HQ.  

The British observer - one Captain Widdrington - can also be seen.

 My supply train and ambulance wagon.

 The US regiment I brought along was the subject of a previous post.

 

 The peaceful(?) town of Gettysburg.  

The railway terminated here, but for which side would this be the end of the line?

Part of my ghastly plastic 'wild west' train.  Bought for £10 in a charity shop.
