Using their last card in hand the French heavy cavalry charge the Prussian Hussars , who being disordered and having already activated cannot respond - oh dear !
They are cut to ribbons and flee - but they did manage to cause a couple of casualties on the French who decided rather than follow up they will retire .
On the other flank the British 20th Foote retires away from the advancing Swiss .
On the French left the Regiment D' Roi advance swiftly (some high dice rolling for movement there) and bear down on the Allied artillery on the hill .
The 18th Foote see off the French Regiment Bearn in the centre with heavy casualties .
The Brunswick Regiment Von Zastrow moves across to shore up the Allied left . I had hoped to get this game finish today , but real life has intervened in the form of hedge cutting and house work but the game will end when the next joker is drawn (night falls) , so that should be tomorrow . I'm wondering which game to play next , but think it will be Old School - I'm in that frame of mind at the moment .
Harvested from the interweb .
Great pics Tony. See you're reading LoR - I generally read it once a year, wonderful escapism.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I read it , but have been listening to the Tolkien Professor analysing it on U Tube , so I thought it was time I read it again .
DeleteYour game really took off! It looks very enjoyable.

I am enjoying it immensely , nearing the end and not sure who is winning yet .
DeleteGreatly enjoying the series. Your old school table with the hills is outstanding. I am thinking of doing something similar. I like the look very much. Perhaps it's nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteAlso your Conan meme is very funny. I hope you do not mind if I report it?
I am at an age when nostalgia is my thing , share away ! .
DeleteThe game is a visual treat and I'm sure lots of fun to play too!
ReplyDeleteYes the rules are working well and it's nice to get the figures on the table .
DeleteNothing stirs the blood like a bit of old school Carnage!
ReplyDeleteThink it must be an ageing thing , much prefer O.S. nowadays.
DeleteI love seeing someone else’s Prince August figures in action...I ought to get out my own for a nice solo game during the isolation.
ReplyDeleteThese figures are one of my favourite collections .
