Tuesday Night was busy at Game Nite as the players joined the Game Masters to get a little American Civil War action in trying out Black Powder rules on one table while the Bolt Action crew was busy trading shots on another.
Andrew our imbedded reporter was not only a very busy game master but also was kind enough to send in a great report of the games for us all to enjoy so we will turn the tale over to him…..
“Table one it Black Powder from Warlord Game! Union and Confederate comes to clash attempting to control some vital farmland! ”
“We were trying to learn the system blind, which is providing it’s own challenges. If anyone knows how to play, help would be greatly appreciated!”
“Table two is Bolt Action British vs German! ”
“Lines form as the Union pushes on the right.”
“Cavalry is active on both flanks as the Union holds strong while the confederate left falters!”
“In the end, the sun set before either side could claim a decisive victory. A good time was had by all.”
“On the Bolt Action table, vehicles are aflame! A bloody affair! ”
“Seven gamers had a great time!”
Thanks to Andrew for running the ACW scenario and the write up. A Thank You to all the players who came out to enjoy a fun evening of gaming. As always we extend our ongoing appreciation to Game Nite for their continued support.

Big Muddy Historical Game Alliance of Greater St. Louis
Our public educational demonstrations including rules and game evaluation sessions use historical miniature and historical board gaming to explore military history, historical decision-making, and the people, places, and events of the past.
Historical Gaming in Action is a public educational program presented by the Big Muddy Historical Game Alliance of Greater St. Louis.
Using miniature figures, terrain, maps, historical research, and guided play, our games explore military history through the decisions faced by commanders, soldiers, and communities. Visitors can examine the table, ask questions, learn about the historical setting, and—when space and time permit—join the game.
Our scenarios are based on historical sources. While game rules simplify some details for practical play, each event is designed to encourage discussion of historical events, geography, leadership, logistics, strategy, and the human experience of conflict.
Historical gaming can be both enjoyable and educational. Big Muddy provides public educational demonstrations, seminars, and convention programming that promote historical miniature gaming and military history.
