The Battle of Cross Keys (GBACW): Turn 1 

Thank you so much for these videos. I am new to this system. I just bought Gringo and Death Valley because I figured I’d start with some smaller battles and learn the system. Gringo has some smaller battles, but I found out, that because the Mexican war battles were so unique, that there are a TON of special rules for each. So not the best game to start out with 😅 The battle of El Molina Del Rey is smaller and a lil more straight forward, the playbook even says it’s a good battle to start learning with. But I also got Death Valley along with its expansion. Watching the sequence of play with your videos over and over and reading the rule book over and over is helping me get started. Stiglr and Hexy have some good instructional videos too. Thank you again, hope you post more!

Thanks for taking the time. Nice to see real counters. Keep up the good work.

Are you playing with the Fremont Caution Rules? Ah, yes, you are. Carry on. :) I visited Cross Keys four or five years ago, when Death Valley was still being designed. I, too, went down that ravine in front of Ewell's position and marvelled at the folly of an attack up that slope. I also tried to get around to where the 8NY was decimated by was stymied by the iron fence of a property owner who owns a E-W swathe of land right in that area ... and he has a guard house and armed security on the far west end!! Swinging around further around the Union left, there is the area where the Confederates launched their "rabbit punch" attack. That has some nice signage, good sight lines ... and it is right on the periphery of someone's private property (not the property with the guard station), but they seem pretty laissez-faire about it. I was able to walk down a wooded slope, and found a bright green mill pond blocking passage any further into the field. Naturally, after leaving Cross Keys I went down to Port Republic (@6 miles SSE), and took in the sights there. Got some really good photos from the top of The Coaling position, and wandered over to the spot of the (then) Covered Bridge where Jackson effected his early morning escape from the Union cavalry raid.

How the heck was I not subbed to you. Somehow I missed it. Ok I will be watching close! Thanks for the vids

DANG GULLIES AND FREMONT TOO!

Regarding moving the 12 OH artillery, note that this alone would not incur fatigue. Rule 17.22 on fatigue: “Activations that are solely undertaken by attached artillery, alone, do not count.”

Thanks for video! Tell please. 18:36. if CSA Sk3 will shoot at Union 39NY, then will the 8NY and 13PA be able to return fire?
