The Prussian reserves come onto the table, a unit of Bavarians followed by some Wurtenburgers .
Not a moment too soon as the Prussian infantry on the ridge are taking heavy casualties from French musketry.
The Prussian infantry fail a couple of morale tests and vacate the hill .
The victorious Turcos advance and take the enemy position .
The French reinforcements arrive (in sepia ) .
Things go badly wrong for the Prussians , the Bavarians are forced to take a morale test having received heavy losses from the French artillery and flee - which took them off the table . I stopped the game at this point to save more Prussian humiliation .
The Prussian General Staff discuss where it all went wrong . Another good game (well not for the Prussians ! ) , I must get my jumble of notes together and sort out a new playsheet for these rules .
All very enjoyable to read Tony as I guess it was to play!
ReplyDeleteYes I do like simple to remember rules .
DeleteGreat stuff - thanks for the vintage pictures - it was sneaky of the French to attack in sepia.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure - very 'Featherstonian'
DeleteExcellent post Tony- A bad outing for the Prussians - with Victory to the French- do like the inclusion of the 'Sepia' photo- all very Old School- delightful. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteYes it just wasn't the Prussians day .
DeleteGreat stuff Tony, of all the cool things you do these are my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThey are one of my favourite collections .
DeleteI thought for a moment the sun had set draining the colour from our sight.
ReplyDeleteGreat game but bad timing for me.
I am trying to figure out if I want this next game to be this sort of old school with regiments or Morschauser old school with each 'company' stand being a unit, that side had been edging ahead but this hasn't helped their case.
Decisions , decisions !
DeleteA lovely looking and sounding game Tony...
ReplyDeleteOf course now I want to dig out those Spencer Smith Classic French Grenadiers of the Guard and Bavarians and put some paint on them...😂
All the best. Aly
They are very nice figures and don't need basing as they stand up on their own bases - unusual for figures nowadays .
