Trouble in Toieland , a Christmas Game (finale) .

 


The 'Red Army' Hussars charge the Wurtemburgers .


But are driven off by a close range volley ( 'Blue Army' played a couple of cards from their hand )


Meanwhile in the center the  Potsdam Grenadiers are caught in a crossfire from the 'Red Army' Naval Brigade and the Rifles .


The 'Church Roof Committee ' take cover in the tower of the church .


The Artist Rifles (Performing Arts Own) complete their flank march around the church to appear on the flank/rear of 'Blue Army' .


With casualties rising and finding themselves outflanked the Potsdam Grenadiers are forced to fall back . 'Blue Army' has lost the fight and retires from the battle , a victory for 'Red Army' ! . A very enjoyable game played over the Christmas holidays , once again 'A Gentleman's War' delivers a fun game .

  1. Tony, some nice collectibles on show, the semi-flat hussars? work perfectly with the Britains, and I also like the personalities at the top of the church tower.

    1. The semi-flat Hussars have turned out well since they had a case of 'lead rot' .

  2. Well done, Blue Army: they may have withstood Red Army, but they'll need to step out smartly to avoid further remonstrance from Gabriel Oak!
