Black Powder Battle Report: 15mm ACW. An Action in Platville Valley

Black Powder Battle Report 15mm American Civil War: An Action in the Platville Valley 24th July 1863.
For this week’s battle report we return to America and the American civil war to see the North and South battle it out in a game of Black Powder 15mm ACW.
This week we try an old scenario from a book published in the 1960’s, War Games by Donald F Featherstone, playing the game scenario but using the Black Powder rules, so we hope you enjoy this video Action in Platville battle and the ensuing battle.
Watch and see as Georges Confederate army of the south take to the field to be first to Secure the Green ridge and Platville valley along key positions within Platville village. Meanwhile my Union army will try to locate and destroy the Confederate Army and maximise the advantage!
Another great battle, fantastic board and a few laughs and banter along the way…
…but who will win, watch and see!

3:30 I used to check this out from Library. Very cool you have it.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, George was able to convert the battle from the book into a Black Powder battle quite well and so it made for an enjoyable and entertaining game. Glad you enjoyed it too, thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@robandrosehobden3344]

Very good game really enjoyed it well done 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠🤠🤠

Another Excellent Battle!! Many Thanks Gents👍

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@philRminiatures]

A great looking game on a splendid table (I love your haystacks!)...Bloody and spectacular...

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, we really enjoyed the game and George puts on a good table with the scenery and figures. Glad you liked it, we certainly did. Thanks for the positive comment 👍🏻

[@wgeffoxdo9719]

looking lovely

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, George has a good selection of well painted troops and can put together a good table which makes for a great battle. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@BootsontheTable]

Nice scenario chaps. Thanks

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks, we try to do our best, makes for a good game.

[@TheGreyWolf94]

Brilliant battle as always gents, thank you! 😁 I honestly thought my character was in for a total ass-whoopin' at one point, but my goodness, how the tables turned! The table, armies and scenario were all great also- well done George. So glad to see you getting more and more Patreons and support, you guys deserve it. Finally - Your recent Bolt Action videos were also great, thanks again 👍

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you as always… to be honest I thought you were done for too!!!! But some great dice rolling just at the right time meant a great comeback and swung the battle! Thanks again, really appreciate your support 👍🏻

[@TheGreyWolf94]

@@theministryofminiatures I know you're completely busy with the Bolt Action Barbarossa campaign (which is awesome) but it's be great so see a ACW Campaign in the future too, plenty of campaigns to choose from in the period too! And no problems, my pleasure!

[@theministryofminiatures]

@TheGreyWolf94 indeed, the Barbarossa campaign is once a month, then George and I play once a month… although we might try Hail Caesar next (15mm)…. Quite fancy that too! We have discussed an ACW or AWI mini campaign also… so much to do!

[@TheGreyWolf94]

@@theministryofminiatures Yeah that makes sense! Is that the new Hail Caesar 15mm epic range? That would be cool, Maryland Campaign would probably be the easiest to do for ACW , AWI I'm not too knowledgeable on unfortunately. Looking forward to the next video either way 👍

[@theministryofminiatures]

@@TheGreyWolf94 George has 15mm figures already. The Warlord Games epic is 12.5mm… we are going to try the 15mm first before we look at the epic stuff 👍🏻

[@tracygrove3484]

That's a beautiful table and great game. Can I ask what style game mat that is. It does not seem to show those print lines many of the mouse pad type have.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you - it was a great game and very enjoyable, glad you enjoyed it too! The mat is by Geek Villain - very nice fleece mats 👍🏻

[@tracygrove3484]

@@theministryofminiatures kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3XLc3aEmtN4hqs Found your review for these mats! Was still curious if this one is the summer grass?

[@theministryofminiatures]

Yes it is 👍🏻 Thanks

[@NicolaiVE]

Well played. Where are the mini's from?

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you. Mostly Peter Pig, but I believe George sources them from a couple of suppliers. Hope this helps?

[@G4George]

Most of the figures are from Freikorps 15. The rest are from Peter Pig, including the Iron Brigade looking types. I used selected poses from Freikorps 15 and regimental and higher command from Peter Pig. Happy to go into more detail if required.

[@theministryofminiatures]

@georgebell2736 thanks, I knew the Peter Pig!

[@NicolaiVE]

@@G4George Me and a mate will go into ACW in the near future, but we are still unsure about the scale 28 or 15 mm... But your armies shure do look nice on the battlefield

[@theministryofminiatures]

@NicolaiVE I have the Perry Starter set in 28mm. But after playing 15mm I immediately bought the Warlord Games Gettysburg epic starter set: collabs.shop/1bmemc Soo many figures and enough to share between two players! Worth a look, the scale allows for more figures on the battlefield.
