#historicon2026 came alive as Charlie Fastoso & Marks Games Room delivered a tense 2v2 showdown based on Avalon Hill’s 1954 Gettysburg. Strategy and timing ruled the gorgeous 6mm battlefield, where every move hit with classic old‑school wargaming intensity.

@curiousmcgeorge Cost is always an issue.

[Mark @markherman54]

Even using these organizers for Army of the Potomac and Lee Moves North by https://t.co/umuj9CVDiI, very compact and everything fits perfectly.

@curiousmcgeorge @craig6968 @CharlesVasey Seven Days requires less time, smaller, and has solo rules.

The Wylie boys were kind enough a year ago to give me a copy of their Gettysburg game and I liked the system. I just bought another in the series Wilderness. My Rebel Fury Wilderness scenario is 2 brigades/ hex and this one is 1 brigade/hex. In both cases no stacking. 👍

@freakoutsideofx Still looks fabulous

@HBuchanan2 @SDHistCon Note the deep concentration of a British socialite selling opium in China.

[Mark @markherman54]

Scale, 1 brigade per hex you are looking at the battle as a Corps/Division commander at the tactical level where artillery range is a decision. At the 2 brigade scale you are at the grand tactical level with broader map space which is about maneuver combinations prior to and during a battle. Here you are the army commander where risk enters the decision space.

@HBuchanan2 Great Con, you and your crew were amazing as always.
