Most wargamers long for a place to call their own, the Wargames room. I now have mine. It is not strictly speaking mine, I have to share it with the kids, but its pretty close.
I have a good sized space in my recently converted garage, with a table and plenty of storage.
 |
| Table from far end of the room, painting desk in the background. Lots of military history and rules in the book cases. |
 |
| Table and storage (Kids TV and Sofa) |
 |
| Storage for figures etc |
The table is made up of two 6 foot trestle tables from Amazon. They are very sturdy and a bit wider than I expected at 2 foot six each.
On the table is a solo game using Black Powder and my 28mm ACW figures. These are a mix of Perry, Sash and Saber, Redoubt, Crusader and just a few Foundry.
 |
| View of the table, Two brigades and a battery each side |
 |
| The Zouaves are Redoubt figures |
 |
| Perry Union troops peer across the teddy bear fur field |
 |
| Perry Union artillery |
 |
| Front regiment is made up of Redoubt "Ragged Reb" figures |
 |
| Confederate firing line of Sash and Saber miniatures |
 |
| These Rebs are a mixture of Crusader and Foundry figures. Home made fences. |
The game ended in a draw. Both sides had a brigade break in the same turn. With the stats I use for ACW with Black Powder the games are pretty attritional. Units tend to blaze away at each other trying to do enough damage to make a charge worth-while. (I lower the hand to hand value to 5).
Next step. Play some real games in the new room.
