AGM SYW-ish game (part 2)


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 .

  1. Great pics Tony. See you're reading LoR - I generally read it once a year, wonderful escapism.

    1. It'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 .

  3. Greatly 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.

    Also your Conan meme is very funny. I hope you do not mind if I report it?

  6. I 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.
