For various 'real life' interruptions I have not got on with the game this week , so I thought I'd better update the blog with my progress so far . The French infantry have deployed and supported by their gun are attacking the Prussians who have moved up onto the hill . On the left the cavalry clash in a series of melees .
The 'Turcos' move forward .
The French gun lines up on it's Prussian adversary , both sides counter-battery fire was inconclusive .
One of the cavalry melees on the left , both sides caused casualties but the Prussians retired in the end . However the French cavalry was much weakened and couldn't maximise on their victory .
The Prussian cavalry's position after the melees . I am in the progress of re-writing my amended Featherstone rules for this period from the jumble of notes I've jotted down and will put them on the blog when I've got them sorted . Part three to follow soon ....... (click on photos to enlarge)
"Worth waiting for!".

The quality depends on the time of day I take them as the sunshine streams through the wargaming room windows in the afternoon .
DeleteI really enjoy these old school games. Just love the look of the table. Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteDo like O.S. uncomplicated rules that I can remember in my head .
DeleteDelightful pictures, I am looking forward to reading your take on Featherstone's rules.
ReplyDeleteThey are a jumble of notes at the moment but a rewrite is in progress
DeleteGood to see you're enjoying your solo game. I find they are great way to utilise Covid-19 down-time. Looking forward to seeing your amended rules. Regards Greg
ReplyDeleteSimple rules for troubled times I think.
DeleteHi Tony- Looking forward to your 3rd Update on the Battle and your amended rules. You've made a splendid job of the Spencer Smith figures- well done indeed. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev these figures are some of my favourites
DeleteI can see why- they are great. I've often looked at the Spencer Smith site and dream't of those Armies-owning Spencer Smith Armies must be great!
DeleteThey were a bit fiddly to paint but worth the effort .
DeleteThis is excellent Tony, but you really must work in a couple of B&W pictures! Looking forward to next instalment.
ReplyDeleteYes I will try and remember to sepia a couple of photos in my next report
