Achtzehn OH! Nein! Oh, all cut dead!

Warning this battle rap is unfair:
 First, you got to listen to a Jesus and the Mary Chain song, to get into the mood of the battle, (copyrights with the artist of course),  please listen:

What can I say ... Angus came up with a scenario found at a dried up river bed near Aberdeen and a reason to show up his nearly camouflage-like painted Russian and Swabian (Würtemberger) 28mm Napoleonics. So we used the "Over the Hills" rules (which are very fine by the way). Me and Peter and Angus played the surrounding Russians outnumbering some 11 units of Würtemberger played by Campbell and MDF Mike (the one from the 1809 blog). And then we rolled who‘s first ... the Russian won –  and that was it. We moved one turn, and then I went to the bar for drinks for everybody and when I came back, the Germans were defeated already. I guess Angus just rolled them up and charged into their artillery ...

As I said near a dried up river bed next to Aberdeen .... or worse ...

here are some pictures .... I bow my head to Campbell and Mike to endure that turkey shooting ...

but still we won so ...

so at last, you got to listen to a Misfits song, to get into the mood of winning the shooting, (copyrights with the artist of course),  please listen:

  4. To be fair, it was Campbell (aka the Prince of Wurttemberg) who suggested this scenario. Speak about sticking your neck in the noose ...
