The Battle of the Eglise sur la colline (Part3) , The Debacle .

 


The French Vivandiere manages to patch up a casualty , meanwhile on the left ......


The French Artillery open fire on the Prussian Jaegers .


The Uhlans charge into the flank of the French column ! , who fail their test and -


- are scattered and destroyed - Oh dear !


Things are not going well on the other flank as the French Infantry once again fail to rally .


The game is lost for the French with both flanks gone ! . A victory for the Prussians ! 


Think Emile Zola probably sums it up ! . A great game though, which I enjoyed and has got me wanting to paint up some more figures and let the French seek their revenge .

  1. Your French need to learn to lose graciously, all this revanchism will just start another war nobody wants. Surely Elsaß–Lothringen is German anyway, so what's their problem?

  3. It's been a cracking game to follow and what started off well for the French descended into a rout, great stuff, very enjpyable.
