The Helenyk Heavy Cavalry crash into the disordered enemy column and cut it to pieces riding down the fleeing troops ( a rare successful cavalry charge which doesn't happen often under these rules)
Another Sublime Porte column drives the Helenyk Irregulars from the ridge !
The third Sublime Porte column is driven back by rifle fire from the Bavarian Volunteers , things are looking a bit confused for the Sublime Porte in the centre .
The Helenyk forces had held out for the alloted number of turns, so a win for them . Their reinforcements arriving promptly was the key to their success as I think the Sublime Porte infantry assaults would have won against the motely opponents . Another enjoyable game with plenty of tension .
A cracking game and a win for the Helenyk forces, a real enjoyable series of posts, really enjoyed seeing the battle set up and unfold.
ReplyDeleteThanks , exciting battle that could have gone both ways .
DeleteAnother excellent battle Tony! I love to see your 40mm troops on the table! They really bring "toy soldier" gaming to life! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteMy 40mm collections are some of my favortite figures.
DeleteA very nice collection of figures, the Irregular 40mm have a lot of charm and I have a number of them alongside my Little Britons. AGW give a good game but I know what you mean about cavalry charges. I want to do the next game using the slightly earlier period firing factors.

Yes Cavalry are not much use against 'modern weaponary'
DeleteWhat! Google finally let me publish a comment! I'll just push m,y look and say that I've long enjoyed your blog and your 40mm collection. Inspired by yourgames I ordered Greek and Turks before Irregular closed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your persistence with Google (which can be strange at times). The Irregular stuff are very nice in a toy soldiery way and it,s a shame they are no longer available .
