The Battle of Antietam; ACW in 6mm. Part 6 - Burnside's Bridge.
Description:
With hindsight we all think it ridiculous that Burnside did not just roll over the bridge and take Sharpsburg. This scenario will help us understand the geography and lack of information that plagued Burnside during this action. We will also see that the timely counterattack of A.P. Hill confirms Burnside's earlier apprehension about blindly attacking over the Lower Bridge.

Will they do any better than Hooker's men?

The Battle of Antietam; ACW in 6mm. Part 4 - The McClellan "Dream" Scenario.
Description:
Most Antietam games include "McClellan rules" which give the Confederates a fighting chance. In this game we will allow the Federals to move all their forces. Let's see if Lee, Longstreet, and Jackson can hold them back.

The Battle of Antietam; ACW in 6mm. Part 5 - The Sunken Road.
Description:
D.H. Hill's division participated in the fight over in the Cornfield. What is remarkable was his ability to hold the Sunken Road against two divisions of the Federal 2nd Corps. Anderson was able to support him in the nick of time. If Federal success in the Sunken Lane could have broken Lee's army in half. Will it happen this time?
