As they approach the village the 'Red' force deploys with the Cavalry moving through the village and the Cadets going left and right . Notice the 'Blue' Jaegers have managed to move up to the wall on the right due to some crafty playing of cards and some high dice scoring for movement.
The Chasseurs deploy to face the enemy Hussars .
The Cadets moving up the road through the village are hit by accurate Artillery fire before they can deploy !
Likewise the Cadets on the right are peppered by rifle fire from behind the wall as the form up.
The 'Blue' army Hussars charge the Chasseurs who countercharge and drive them back . Part 2 to follow......... ......
A great battle report! I’m looking forward to reading the next part!

DeleteA very interesting start to the conflict, be interesting to see what way it swings and to who!
ReplyDeletePart two on it's way.
DeleteEverything looks great Tony! Those 54mm cadets have an awesome presence on the table, that is until they started taking fire! I eagerly await the next installment!
ReplyDeleteBrad de Santos,
DeleteWhen I saw them going into action, the scene from THE HORSE SOLDIERS when the cadets from the military school march out to fight the Union cavalry came to mind.
All the best,

Thank you, think the newly painted figures first battle syndrome is kicking in.
ReplyDeleteIt's as I feared with so much reliance being placed on cadets, sending boys to do men's work was always going to be a risk.
ReplyDeleteYes a more cautious approch would have been better.
