Title: Last Chance for Victory
Post by: GriffinTwoSix on April 27, 2020, 11:43:00 AM
Having recently gotten Last Chance For Victory, and having a bit of time on my hands with quarantine and all, I decided to undertake the full epic 3 day Gettysburg experience.  I could only find 1 place online where a guy actually played it through to completion, even on BGG there are some questions I've seen around to the effect of: has anyone ever REALLY done the full 3 days? I've had it on my table (tables in this case) for a couple weeks now, playing an hour here or a few hours there, and am at about 4:30 p.m. on the 1st day.  11th and 1st Corps are just barelyyy hanging on to their lines outside of town, it's been a pretty enjoyable time.  Will I get through the full 3 days before quarantine is over? Certainly going to try. The battle turns are slow going, about 30 minutes a piece, but the turns during lulls are easily less than 10 minutes.

I cannot believe your wife let you have the dining room table long enough to set it up.

I cannot tell if that's a dog or a chicken behind the gate at upper left.  :)

Ahaha a dog roaming somewhere in the house, but thats my stash of plastic bags and a cone (for a dog).  That sticker with the eyes on it though really does make it look odd.
