Battle of Champion Hill 1863 - Volley and Bayonet Wargame - 15mm figures - Part 1 of 7

Watch “Battle of Champion Hill 1863 - Volley and Bayonet Wargame - 15mm figures - Part 1 of 7,” a board game video for Volley & Bayonet on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by PrestonTheWargamer on YouTube:

A fascinating film of my solo game of Volley and Bayonet using 15mm miniatures to fight the Battle of Champion Hill - May 16 1863 PLEASE NOTE! This film is unlike the previous Volley and Bayonet wargame films on this channel in which I summarized the action which took place each turn. In this film you will see detailed action including all the dice rolls. There is also plenty of discussion of the way Volley and Bayonet works. This has meant that the film is rather longer than usual and not all of the 7 parts are the same length. Please let me know if you spot rule mistakes in the film - this will help others you play or wish to play this splendid historical miniatures wargame. I hope you enjoy the motion picture. If you have time, please leave a comment or click the 'like' button. If you love adventure – why not even subscribe?! Good luck with your games! - Jeff

About Volley & Bayonet, from BoardGameGeek:

[From the back of the Manual] Take control of the great battles of the 18th and 19th centuries with Volley & Bayonet. Created by the people who brought you Command Decision, Volley & Bayonet gives you the ability to recreate the full scope of the epic battles of the black powder era. Each turn represents one hour on the battlefield but can be played in only fifteen to thirty minutes. Suitable for 5mm all the way up to 30mm. Alternatively you can simply tack down your existing stands onto V&B sized bases, and you're ready to go. Volley & Bayonet covers the entire period from the adoption of the socket bayonet (about 1700) up to the widespread issue of machineguns and magazine rifles (about 1890). The rules, with a few modifications to provide period flavor and to cover newer weapons, allow players to fight out battles throughout that entire dynamic era. All the battles and campaigns of Marlborough, Frederick, Napoleon, Lee and Grant, and Bismarck are at your disposal, and the rules include complete scenarios for almost a dozen battles. Three scenario books published: Battles of the American Civil War (GDW)--10 scenarios and a Campaign System using 'A House Divided' boardgame. Napoleon Returns (Emperor's Press)--1815 Campaign. 4 scenarios, background and extensive info on the armies and uniforms. Austria Stands Alone (Emperor's Press)--1809 Campaign. 5 scenarios, background and info on the armies and uniforms. Expanded by: Napoleon Returns: A Scenario Book for Volley & Bayonet Covering the Exciting Waterloo Campaign
