The battlefield , the French are entering the table on the right and the Prussians on the left.
The game will last for 10 moves , this is the patient move tracker I've made.
The French gun unlimbers and open fire on the Prussian Uhlans .
The start of move 2 , the Frech Hussars deploy in the center as Prussian forces move up to the church and down the road in the distance.
Prussian Jaegers advance swiftly in skirmish order towards the church .
The Prussian Artillery deploy but are hit by counter battery fire from the French which causes heavy crew casualties . The French got lucky and the Prussians couldn't hit a barn door !.
The leading French Infantry deploy into line and come under fire from the opposing Prussian line.
The Prussians also take casualties - loosing an Officer as well . Too be continued ........
Lovely looking game Tony!
ReplyDeleteThank you enjoyable game so far.
DeleteHmm, the dice seem to be favouring Les Pantalons Rouge, that's not right! Something will have to be done.
ReplyDeleteThey dice gods can be fickle!
Delete"Proper" figures and wargame!
ReplyDeleteThe older I get the more i return to this type of game (seeking my lost youth ??)
DeleteSuper looking game and a cracking start for the French, the Prussians are certainly on the back foot. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the game is going well.
DeleteGreat game so far Tony! Very exciting, I can't wait to see how it turns out! All of your figures and the table look just right!
ReplyDeleteYes I'm enjoying playing it . It's nice to get the figures onto the table for a game.
DeleteLooks every bit the part. The turn record track is a particularly nice touch. I'm a big believer that "tools" aren't a necessary evil but can be used to enhance the table.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I like gaming 'bits and pieces '.
DeleteMagnificent sight! And the dice seem to be kinder than history to the French.
ReplyDeleteThank you,the dice are fickle.
