Ironclad - ACW Riverine Warfare, using Blood, Sweat & Iron rules

 

American Civil War river warfare. Ironclads. A few picks of a game trying out Mac's new rules, what he wrote (for Morecambe & Wise fans). got about 10 or 12 moves in, played very well, enjoyed it a lot. These were still a WIP when we played, but easy to learn the one sided play sheet. Thanks again Mac
