The 'Thousand' finally came onto the table , both sides where rather tardy bringing up reinforcements
The Piccollotti did sterling service holding up the rather lacklustre Neapolitan Light Infantry who rolled a couple of 'blunder' rolls and failed to close with the enemy.
Garibaldi finally deployed his forces as time was running out .
The Neapolitan High Command who dithered through out the game and where slow to react.
I had allowed 12 moves for the game and with both sides reacting slowly neither came to grips as time ran out - a victory for the poorly lead Neapolitans as Garibaldi failed to break through . A poor performance by both sides - a strange little game but nice to get the figures on the table again . Garibaldi needs to buck up if he is to conquer Sicily and oust the Neapolitans .
Smart looking fellows those Neapolitans!
ReplyDeleteYes they have a certain style about them.
DeleteIf Garibaldi doesn't smarten up, we'll rename the biscuits. It's that serious.
ReplyDeleteBad day at the office (I do like a Garibaldi biscuit)
DeleteA charming looking table even if there seems to have been little action. Am I correct that those are Irregular figures?
ReplyDeleteThank you , yes they are Irregular figures with the odd Hinchcliffe/Foundry thrown in for the Sicillian Piccolotti
DeleteLovely table and cracking looking miniatures, the game may have been nothing special but the rest certainly was, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments, yes the dice were against both sides but it was still an entertaining game.
DeleteEverything looked great Tony! You have a beautiful collection there and your table is excellent! If you enjoyed the game, then it was a great success!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice words , sometimes games don't work out as you expect - the dice Gods are fickle !
