Hi, I just made a YouTube video explaining how mixed formations work. I have seen a lot of videos on how to play Black Powder but there is no video on how to form a mixed formation. So, I made one. Hope you watch and tell me how you like it.

Hello again,

Interesting, I have been updating the Black Powder Quick Reference chart with Glory Hallelujah American Civil War supplemental rules.

I found something that needs clarification

In Glory Hallelujah page 58 it says under skirmishers “We tend to only use the +1 modifier for skirmish fire when skirmishers fire on formed, close order…[Read more]

Hello again,

So I have a charge questions about charging:

1. A unit is given an order to charge an enemy that it is also close enough to shoot. The unit moves, survives closing fire, and moves into contact during the enemy. The melee is resolved during the hand-to-hand phase.

a. I take it the charging unit cannot shoot before charging as it is…[Read more]

Thanks to Nate and Ben for replying to my earlier questions.

Here is another that came up.

A disorganized unit cannot receive orders. Does this include the rally order?

Hi, I have been away from BP for a while now I’m getting back into it. Replaying a game and came up with some rules questions:

As you develop Epic ACW figures here is what I would hope you will make. Please take notes.

1. U.S. Colored Troops – Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery. Facial features of “white” soldiers don’t match those of “black” soldiers. i.e. They don’t have zz top beards.

Hi,

I’m looking to make American Civil War “landing parties”. I need to make 3 units of union sailors armed with swords and pistols. Can’t find a vendor. Does anyone know where those can be purchased or a suitable substitute that can be purchased?

Hello,

It’s been a long time but I’m playing Black Powder again. This time with American Civil War miniatures. I got the supplement Glory Hallelujah (I’ll refer to it as “GH” here on out). It has left me with two questionable situations. Namely…

1. Is artillery canister range 6″ or 12″? There is a chart on page 55 of GH that shows canister at…[Read more]

Hello,

I got back into wargaming during the covid crisis in August 2020. I bought Black Powder rules and decided I would start with the first scenario in the back of the book on page 118. The Battle of Elixheim. It took me time to collect all the miniatures, paint them, make the battlefield, then find a space to play.

Last month the project…[Read more]

Here is a link to my blog where I have pics of my battlefield.
