The road to Palermo.

 


It occurred to me that I haven't put up a battle report for a long while and also it's ages since I fielded my Garibaldi collection on the tabletop .. Here we see the man himself leading his 'Thousand' inland after landing at Marsala and moving inland towards Palermo  .


The locals rally to his banner and the 'Piccolotti' lead by Friar Pantaleo skirmish before his advancing force .


The local Neapolitan General hearing of the enemies advance  rushes his force to intercept them.(the Brigadier has a tactical rating of only 6 - so perhaps not much rushing)


The leading Battalions of Light Infantry march through the village in the Sicilian sunshine .


The table set up , the Garibaldini arrive on the road on the left and the Neapolitans through the village on the left . I will be using 'Black Powder' rules for the game and will report back soon.
