I normally play the classic Featherstone rules with my Irregular 28mm Franco-Prussian war figures but I wondered if I could use them as well with my beloved 'Gentleman's War' .
Having cleared up the figures from our last game I thought I would set it up again using the Irregular FPW figures . The only difference I have had to do is add two figures to each Infantry unit (hence the painted figures in the last post) to make moral checks easier to work out (my 40mm/54mm are in 12 figure units) so these will be in 24 figures .
As in the last game the forces are the same as is the scenario , with the Prussians having to capture the bridge . The Prussian General has been dealt an impressive hand of cards to start the game !
And he uses them - swiftly deploying his infantry Regiments ready to attack. I will report back how the game plays out .
Ooooo, your photos really give me that mid- to late 19th century itch! Eager to learn what might happen next.

I'm interested to see how these rules play with bigger units
DeleteBeautiful armies and table Tony! The Prussians seem to be starting with a real advantage!
ReplyDeleteYes I hope they can use the cards to their advantage .
DeleteThose Prussian units look impressive marching across the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they preform well in the coming game .
