The Johnny Reb Gaming Society publishes original ACW miniature wargaming scenarios in our hard copy newsletter, Charge!, each quarter. Back issues are available in hard copy directly from the Society’s newsletter editors (Scott and Debi Mingus) or via electronic format at www.magweb.com.
Occasionally, we will feature links to on-line scenarios here on the blogsite as well. For example, my scenario for the fight at Pardee Field (Culp’s Hill at Gettysburg) on July 3, 1863, can be found on-line at PARDEE FIELD. This was the original Johnny Reb 3 scenario that I slightly reworked for inclusion in my scenario book, Enduring Valor: Gettysburg in Miniature.
I have also compiled a master list of the vast majority of the JR Civil War scenarios that have appeared in hard copy format over the years since the original Johnny Reb rules were introduced in 1983. Note that this list does not include American Revolution scenarios for the AWI variant rules sets, nor scenarios for Dean West’s The Final Argument of Kings, an excellent variant for early 19th century warfare.

RULES CLARIFICATIONS AND PLAYING AIDS
Here is a link to an improved version of the standard Johnny Reb 3 rules charts, used by permission of John Hill. Johnny Reb 3 modified tables
Some of the gamers on the JRIII Yahoo Group worked with Doug Kline, Dean West, and others to rewrite a portion of the Johnny Reb 3 rules for added clarity. Have a look! jr-clarification
Finally, here is a link to my step-by-step turn sequence for Johnny Reb 3, incorporating the above charts, but in sequential order. Johnny Reb 3 step-by-step
Hello Scott, I saw you once published a scenario for Glorietta Pass in Miniature Wargames #132. Do you have that available????
I do have JR scenarios for Valverde and Peralta and want to play the last one and Glorietta Pass at two conventions and Valverde at my club. All being part of this years ‘campaign of 1862′ (also with F&F).
I am making a Glorietta Pass scenario myself as well, which includes Chivington’s excursion too (probably with a what if kind of manner either stumbling into the CS supply train or as he was ordered, getting into Scurry’s flank as was intended).
Well, first make some buildings for Peralta!
Hope to hear from you.
How can I get the Johnny Tremain AWI variant?
Charles, Ask and ye shall receive!! I posted the Johnny Tremaine variant rules on the blog a few days ago.
Hi,
We are using these rules in our club (Tin Soldiers of Antwerp) to recreate the Scott Mingus scenarios of the battle of Gettysburg.
One question could not be answered and I wonder if you guys could help out.
- When infantry fires at a lone artillery section and inflicts one (non-horse) casualty, would this just be moot or the whole section or just ..
Thanks,
Andre

If the unit is a single section, I play that it is eliminated by a non-horse hit on the Combat Results Table.
Hi,
I’ve looked through the scenario list and have found reference to “Battles of the American Civil War Vol 1 (Glory Enough For All) by Daniel Jackson”
I can’t find any web references to this book…is it available, is it a book, magazine etc. I’m particularly interested in a scenario for Bull Run (The whole thing…at regemental level)
thanks
Mike
Hello Mike!
Daniel Jackson’s scenario booklet has been out of print for perhaps 15 years. I have not seen a copy for sale for at least ten or twelve years.
Bull Run at regimental scale would be a great addition to the body of scenarios! I have long contemplated breaking the entire Second Bull Run battle down into pieces for Johnny Reb 3, similar to my scenario books for Antietam and Gettysburg, but my job and my regular book writing take precedence over another gaming scenario book.

Hi,
I am trying to build myself a library of JR I & II & III scenarios. The reason is an event I run every year whereby we play JR III on 28 mm scale in our clubhouse in Belgium.
The next one is planned for March 2011 and will feature 1st Manassas. (2000+ miniatures, 18′x18′ table size)
Is there a possibility of electronically procure missing scenarios that fature in the overview list (like the ones published in CHARGE, or The ZOuave, or To the Sound of the Guns, or Battles of the American Civil War, or A Clash of Sabers, or …)
Just asking, Thanks for feedback
Andre
The books you mentioned are copyrighted, so there are no electronic versions on-line that I am aware of. The back issues of Charge are available on-line for $2.99 each at the Wargame Vault.
Scott,
Thanks for the info. If I would supply a list of back issues, how can I settle the bill ? Is paypal or CC possible ?
Rgds,
Andre
Simply go to the Wargame Vault and download whatever back issues of Charge you desire.
Scott,
Is your book of skirmish scenarios (or are there two?) still available? I’ve tried various dealers and have had no luck. I tried to find Mr. Janci’s email address and couldn’t find it.
Thanks,
Chris Johnson
I believe the scenarios books are all sold out. Ivor Janci has been working on some .pdf versions.
