On laying the table out I decided the felt roads I had( they are about 20 years old) looked crap so decided to purchase ( the club will re-inburse me at some point) a bit more brook to stretch it across Table and a couple of road sets ready flocked from Kallistra to match the Hexon I had. I ordered it Thurs and it was in letter box on Mon. This did mean some changes to layout as I no longer need to raise the level for the bridge as the roads are slightly raised and stopped it floating in the air , but the hex nature meant hills had to be adjusted accordingly but I think the overall layout looks way better plus the roads now lead of table.

1st Virginia Cavalry arrive

Above shows some of the dispositions as the Confederate Scouting force of the 1st Virginia Cavalry arrive on table, much to the suprise of the bivouac-ed Union Forces on the Justeen Turnpike( Justeen’s the name of this little hamlet which bestrides the turnpike) . You can now plainly see the Warrens Run Brook running Parallel to the road.

Slightly out of postion is a 14th U.S Artillery on the hill overlooking the Turnpike.

Table layout Revised/Initial Deployment.

Rapidly trying to deploy into line on the East of the River, on a small Hill above the Gerrysburg to Freetown Road is the 6th Wisconsin of the Iron Brigade.

Finally the 7th Michigan Cavalry and 63rd Pensylvanian Infantry are marching towards the Bridge and Turnpike on the Gerrysburg Road West of the Warrens Run.
