Perryville

We staged the battle of Perryville. It was epic but it was still more of a test for us and we learned some lessons and made some adaptations.
The Union was played by myself and Scott with Nigel and Mark looking after the Rebels.
Many thanks to Andrew for officiating and hosting the day.
The only negative point is that we ran out of time and didn't get finished. It would be a good game to try again.
