Sounds mental as it is. Semi-Strictly 28mm. History 'light'. No magnifiers were used in this process. What I have, what will be painted, what I like, what rules I favour and more.

I just wanted to replay some of the more interesting battles of the initial Northern Campaign, so what better way to start than the actual search and destroy mission, that started the whole thing ...</p><p>After Bart went to the bar ... everybody else decided to be American and to give him the British, what would certainly an easy win, hey, (later Tim defected as well). So Campbell, Alisdair and David were fighting for the Rebellion, while Bart and Tim tried to find the gun and the powder in some hay stacks. We all used Black Powder 2.</p><p>Far from being nice, I didn't told them all victory conditions and changed even later some even against some protests on both sides - war is never fair...</p><p>The British arrived outside Concord ...and ... drumroll .. the American definitively shot first this time and started the whole disaster - boys, it is on you! I gave them minus 1 VP for that.</p><p>Then the skirmishing game and hunt started. Bart had actually a wonderful plan, to amuse "the rustics" with the Light infantry (under the able command of col Tim), while his Grenadiers did a southern-east swing directly bypassing everybody through cross country and attack Lexington directly.</p><p>The Americans, a bit rusty with the rules and amateurs of warfare, had severe initial problems of command and coordination. That showed and Barts Grenadiers were able to set two of 3 BUAs of our Lexington alight! (2 Victory points).</p><p>Then I changed the incoming time of the Earl Percy by the difference of the VP, and thus counted the grenadier as 1 VP instead of 2. The two grenadier units perished in the following massacre and two further Militias were broken - thus tolling up the bill to 5 vs 3 (2 dead grenadiers and one saved BUA).</p><p>That was when Percy actually arrived. Tims LI was saved and the Militia wasn't in the position to really do much more damage and thus I declared the Battle a British victory. We will all wait of course for the Patriot propaganda following suite - see campbell report on SESWC.</p><p>Next time, in this line of fire, it will be the infamous slaughter at Bunker Hill ... get ready to make some more recoats even more red!</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Time for a fictional battle and Valour & Fortitude FPW testing! And I also slaughtered my bathing mat.</p><p>Bart, Campbell and Gordon were defending the ailing Emperor and some good wine villages, while me, Mike, Peter and Time were fighting for the soon to be Emperor with the shitty wine villages. Scenario principles were easy V&F rules plus every BUA 1 VP. some Infantry brigades/ Divisions were on table, some Infantry and cavalry would come later in as reserves.</p><p>Tim was our CinC and IF we had a plan it was so cunning I totally forgot about it. we marched forward until we reached the usual range of the chassepot and stayed clear of them. Then our flanks advanced and tried a pincer movement. Our Artillery wasn't that good and concentrated as we wished it would be, but due to some real Napoleonic Grognards in the leadership style of our enemy, their actual plan TOTALLY FAILED. We put pressure on them, or shot their efforts to pieces. Campbells flank attack was a desaster and Peter blocked them successfully. Gordone Cavalry attack was successfully bottlenecked by Mike and me.</p><p>In the end we won by minimal margin, 1 VP, IF we would had more time it would have been a French disaster, but the Prussians were wise and hesitant this time. ;)</p><p>The Rules seem to be a wonderful quick and easy/dirty solution for a multiple gamer club night - BUT the army sheets needed a bit of amending (prone; gun ranges accurate but not all that were effective etc...)</p><p>But we had a lot of fun,</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Now the Germans had to attack the "Convoy" and sink one of freight ships. Trying to hinder the Germans were Peter and Mike and Tim with the usual four Royal Navy Cardboardbox ships - BUT Tim was introducing a new British menace - a heavily defended and armoured Gunship that out gunned all our German arsenal - I would name it the "Death Star"...</p><p>I'm not sure, but there were actually several occasion were passer by pointed out the deadliness and the futility of our struggle against that particular ship... hmmm. On the German side I had to divide four Schnellboote between me, David and Andy.</p><p>Our plan was simple to divide the attention and going in with two ships on a Kamikaze like straight attack - while the other two surfed around and attacked the tanker from behind - What could go possibly wrong?</p><p>First Andy did the gallant attack, launched the first two torpedoes, but they missed (slided under both ships) and then his boat was in a concerted action shot to pieces and on fire. He skated along the freight ship but didn't do much damage, and ended up being the second target and was sunk by the rest of the Royal Navy gang in later turns.</p><p>David didn't remembered the plan and turned into the wrong direction and was then also main target of the whole flottila of the Royal Navy - again by the "Death Star".</p><p>We sunk accidentally one ship of the Cardboard box line. Then Tim got unfair and accidentally rammed Davids half dead Not-so-schnellboot, which he, of course, did not survived. Strange experience to have the typical British "cardboardbox - sensation " to be reversed on you...</p><p>My first boot then had Mike's Pappmacheboat on the target and slided in point blank next to him on both sides with two schnellboote. Yup - end of story - sunk by design - Thats how you do it boys. But my schnellboot was then to near too the "Death Star" (the one that rammed David by accident and sunk it) and was shot to the ground in one turn.</p><p>So the only one left on the board was my last schnellboot. Subsequently attracting the fire of all the British, but their arse were heading in the wrong direction. It was me who was now behind the two Freight ships, I released the useless torpedoes and started firing at them. Again I was going lean into point blank. The freight ship now was between me and the rest of the Royal Navy - I had outmaneuvered them all!! </p><p>The last turn I raked the ship with all I got and sunk the bastard - German victory.</p><p>I apologise the Kriegsberichterstatter was on the first boot that was sunk - so we have not much photographic material that survived the incident ...</p><p>It was a blast.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGW1yRmxCqeUVCkBcmjS3X336kgIucQ6DBvEqze9D_9lfO8jIpti4jq4TTlxt1DnWExPDPr7JJkSdZdX6pW08-jfiFXzeZBX5zM25HhLwFJywaWI8iurByxrkRZytTGCycBpyr4ls9QoDMgAtQxY9ifcllBZC8c8SOjPAWsx6CYUrTGqV3FYMIMif7fc/s4032/IMG_8789.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGW1yRmxCqeUVCkBcmjS3X336kgIucQ6DBvEqze9D_9lfO8jIpti4jq4TTlxt1DnWExPDPr7JJkSdZdX6pW08-jfiFXzeZBX5zM25HhLwFJywaWI8iurByxrkRZytTGCycBpyr4ls9QoDMgAtQxY9ifcllBZC8c8SOjPAWsx6CYUrTGqV3FYMIMif7fc/w400-h300/IMG_8789.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Initial set up</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWlP1v8MP4iR5fB2Z10mPNbbjS3VGsP_kb2FJzEVLdg3A7GkbA6vaLIurL_9JN67o2Tx0ftfp6JjFLYLYksIj9hdNT7FpcW4It4Q1MvViEUT8uGC7aNa6TDbTuzu21rEkSqdAW0LuZIYbgKTdFJfE7bKjby8nCKnMp6Bs6bfMtI-BGGy0_2O9SjJ_3J4/s4032/IMG_8790.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWlP1v8MP4iR5fB2Z10mPNbbjS3VGsP_kb2FJzEVLdg3A7GkbA6vaLIurL_9JN67o2Tx0ftfp6JjFLYLYksIj9hdNT7FpcW4It4Q1MvViEUT8uGC7aNa6TDbTuzu21rEkSqdAW0LuZIYbgKTdFJfE7bKjby8nCKnMp6Bs6bfMtI-BGGy0_2O9SjJ_3J4/w400-h300/IMG_8790.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The plan goes astray ...</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2WIz1M1lFuBIvR12kc-pxL5wGFhBnUauv5I11SGrlgLfousqG2_r9jMLzOOua1Ntnuc0TtjuDp4Y5j-ent1y7gfLOMvE1Q-fKjJ0mbfjk_BYbu2T2Xel5eDNNNHsn3U9Uux-fh1SsM4KpqcIywbPg04BtPIShyby9WgOHsJQ6OLwINRpQbM5mPScjFzI/s4032/IMG_8791.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2WIz1M1lFuBIvR12kc-pxL5wGFhBnUauv5I11SGrlgLfousqG2_r9jMLzOOua1Ntnuc0TtjuDp4Y5j-ent1y7gfLOMvE1Q-fKjJ0mbfjk_BYbu2T2Xel5eDNNNHsn3U9Uux-fh1SsM4KpqcIywbPg04BtPIShyby9WgOHsJQ6OLwINRpQbM5mPScjFzI/w400-h300/IMG_8791.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">... but then we outflanked them boot by boot.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05460836818633600291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132927368212665620.post-30530218430370421982024-02-17T23:56:00.009+00:002024-02-18T00:19:03.632+00:001813 - Donnergrollen on the Krawallpass somewhere in the Western Carpathien - fictional Napoleonics<p> BIG SUNDAY GAME - 28mm Napoleonics, Black Powder - my Austrians against Barts Polish-French!</p><p>The Defender of the Duchy needed to hold the mountain pass and the little village, apart from that the usual "Who-killed-more" was applicable. Both sides had around 1500pts+ to spend... but Bart forgot his remaining 10 Regiments (they were still in their Perry boxes) and just brought his new guns - it was an amicable game. </p><p>First, I was with my Austrians in the unfortunately position to actually attack (never good). Later, I found out that the Divisional mass is excellent to move forward, even under cavalry distress, BUT, not so good for actual combat OR even worse, to advance under artillery attacks - Ouch!</p><p>All my units, apart for the Jaegers, were large units, I had ten guns against 18 guns 6 large cavalry regiments against 7 normal and 18 infantry units against 9 - what could go possibly go wrong!</p><p>My left flank Cavalry were attacking in dashing manner and - Huzzah for the Hussars were beating back the Uhlans! My Dragoons (I played my Cuirassier units all as Dragoons to give Bart a chance) stormed forward as little Abteilungen! Now thats is a bit of a gamble, but who doesn't love a bit of a dangerous game, especially when being dashing Cavalry. Thus I was able to give a brigade order AND had a lot of support behind me. Downside they have only a stamina of 2! (small units). They fought gallantly against Uhlans and the whole Chasseur regiment! Huzzah!</p><p>On the other flank my cavalry won't move. Thats Austrians for you. In the end they did a bit and fended off the Uhlans who had a really shitty day. Something was wrong with the Uhlans that day - ah, they were newly painted and fresh recruits.</p><p>On the centre my Jaegers occupied the first half of the village and my Hungarians and my Grenadiers were advancing on the hills at the same time (Yeah I know, as Austrians unbelievable!) BUT there were guns. Loads of them... many were struck down they reached the top and even pushed some units back... but again the closing fire, even from a shitty dice roll of the defending Polish-Duchy player, did bring them down turn by turn.</p><p>In Probably historical Austrian fashion, after the 3rd consecutive attack turn (and the loss of a regiment each turn) I called the battle off and accepted defeat. </p><p>Three lessons, I learned from this delightful battle:</p><p>If you have gun superiority by 2:1 in Napoleonics, you have won.</p><p>Polish Uhlans can bleed. Hehe!</p><p>If you want to defeat the Habsburg masses, make them attack - they sure as hell blotch that up! ;)</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The scenario was simple -kill as many as you can. The Athenians were: Mike, Peter (as General) and Alisdair (opposing me) and The Spartans were: Bart (as the King) and David, and myself as the side officers.</p><p>Barts strategoi was to hold out on the flanks (the hills) and then break through the centre of the oipoloi of our enemy, oi oi oi. On my part I failed completely - "I'm shit with skirmishers" (Bart) but thank god, before my flank crumbled totally and Alisdair could reap any of his victories - we looked right to the centre ... and there was a BIG HOLE. Bart had charged the Athenian general before he could support his troops (we told him 3 times to do so) and while losing his king - he won the combat and thus the battle.</p><p>Alisdair had to be informed by dispatch riders ... hang on there weren't even dispatch riders anymore.</p><p>A fantastic game, sadly not long enough - but we will visit the old classics soon enough.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Who knows were this would lead to - I might actually read these rules... ;)</p><p>Mike drew the french card and thus had to defend against a full Prussian corps (played by me) plus an entire cavalry division, while waiting for half a division of infantry reserve, a corps artillery reserve and a corps cavalry reserve coming in later (diced out turns 1d6). </p><p>The first artillery bombardments were quite civil, but then turned quick nasty. My Prussian were on the attack on flanks and centre, while Mike tried to hold the line.</p><p>First relief was a cavalry reserve that would come in but on the wrong end. while the French guard cavalry and the Prussian cavalry division clashed on the left flank - interesting detail the Prussian Uhlans were stonewalling French Guard Cuirassiers two times!! They would not break - simple!</p><p>Then on the centre Mikes infantry division got off the hill to a counter attack - mon dieu! Totallement against the defensive doctrine, but very effectual! My heavy Krupp guns were shot (partly) off the hill by chassepot.</p><p>On the right wing Mike had to withdraw and my second division of infantry marched to get around to outflank the French.</p><p>Then the left flank cavalry battle got sour. my victorious regiments were all exhausted and just in that moment the reserve of the artillery came in on that corner - Ouch!</p><p>All the way through the line my first attack came to an halt and more and more units hit the grass. Still Mikes centre was retreating - BUT I had allocated enough "black spots" that even if I would have smashed his last shaken units in the centre, he would have still killed more than my Prussians. And a fresh half-division was just on the board marching to relief - Well done! A sounding French victory! Even by NOT sticking to the historical doctrine and do the unthinkable and attack!</p><p>Rulewise:</p><p>The system is of course OK, but the Armysheets need some more historical finesse.</p><p>We will adjust the Prone rule a bit more, divide the regiment actually into their battalions (so playing Army leader / divisional leader and Brigade commands) ad some other stuff needs fine tuning - but nothing that some more testing won't iron out. :)</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Don't let them come nearer. And so our sortiment of veteran troops, buried tanks and mortars and secret tunnels were awaiting the yankees for a hot welcome at our beloved beaches. We would also after they passed a certain secret tunnel sortie to do a surprise attack behind their backs - bonzai!</p><p style="text-align: left;">First Captain Alisdair concentrated his forces on the left and David shot the troopers to meatballs. By this time we also were informed that most of their tanks were practically made out of card board.</p><p style="text-align: left;">With the flank in tatters and some turned and burning vehicles, Captain Alisdair turned to the centre, but my samurai squads turned the tanks to scrap metal and the platoons to sashimi. Similar bloodshed (but freshly made!) happened Peter San's flank as well. As a last wild card the one and only Sherman tank appeared in front of my half buried tank and I shot him back to Detroit!</p><p style="text-align: left;">At this moment it was clear that Mike and the second wave didn't arrive and that Alisdair and his men would die at this beach, food for the sharks, with tanks made out of beach wood. We ended the massacre and accepted the indignant surrender of the weak westerlings to help us built some bridges.</p><p style="text-align: left;">A clear victory for the emperor - Bonzai!

As we departed into two teams, I was drafted into the Allied propaganda campaign and given the best troops on the continent. Prussian Landwehr and some Hussars and Lancers. Opposite of me was Bart with the entirety of the French cavalry including all cuirassiers and carabiners - what could possibly go wrong?</p><p>Our delusional CinC gave me the order to "hold out". I replied I would give him 5 or best 6 turns, then my/our/this flank would not exist anymore. My only and best ally was an old decrepit Dutch windmill on a hill and the hopefully bad luck of the opponent.</p><p>Bart wanted to outflank me and set directly to march towards me. I never would have a chance, so first I set out the Prussian Lancers to block and to get killed. Then the Hussars and then my Landwehr squares would be slowly shot to pieces.</p><p>Somehow though my Hussars were from the ilk of the Black Hussars, two Cuirassier units never got past them. Also the "path" around the windmill was really tight for all the troops so a bottleneck appeared.</p><p>Finally after Mike returned from the centre and advanced with his infantry towards my Landwehr, Bart and Mike shot my Landwehr squares to hell. Thank God, it was the 9th turn when I had to retreat with my beaten artillery and two Hussars regiments that went through the wringer (I had held out three turns longer than I promised!) - but we had won by this time, two of the three villages were in our hand and we had more casualties inflicted than our enemies.</p><p>Hard to say what Bart could have done better, probably only differently. Interesting in this case the "at the double" rules that would favour rapid re-deployment of flank units in this game system. Maybe next time...</p><p>All in all we had a lot of fun - but no way I will start a 12mm project thank you very much. Life is too short.</p><p>The rules I must say have been cleaned up - it is more logical and they are quicker to play. I still miss the intricate differences of the Black Powder supplements BUT that wasn't the scope of the design of these rules (quick and dirty shall it be).</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

(28mm, Pike&Shotte v1 with some house rules), Bart, David and me on the French side, Gordon, Tim, Angus and Mike fighting for the Eidgenossen. I was CinC of the French, Francis the I, while Tim had his debut as CinC of the Swiss as Captn. Uli Fruehli.</p><p>To cut it short (pun intended), in the real battle and last time the Swiss were uncoordinated attacked in piece meal garden variety and were defeated. This time I told them and they knew it. The Italian Sforza flank with Angus and Mike were running into Bart Gendarmes and even though a part of bart men-at-arms were looting a hamlet nearby (one of the entertainments I introduced), Bart managed to disorder Angus Pike block and subsequently attack it with his gendarmes and annihilate it. I had victory points allocate to commanders and units - the French were on a winning streak. It looked good.</p><p>But then me and David mishandled our guns and 2 of our 4 guns exploded. Embolded by that Gordon and Tims Swiss pike blocks stormed vs my French king and did quite good damage. I lost a pike block and men-at-arms and nearly my king, but then Gordon overstretched and thought the camp was the objective (historically, yes, but not in this version) and I blasted his pike block away off the field with my last operable field gun - pheew!</p><p>Then we had to close because of time (in real life) and in the game I introduced effects of the fading daylight, visibility was reduced to 14" and shooting minus 1at this point. the Swiss tally was 7 points (even when we count the two self-blown off guns of the French it would have been 9) vs the French 14 points - a clear French victory as per points - but I would give them a morale victory as they actually managed to break into the French camps (huzzah, Gordon!!), and I nearly blown the victory away as my French King was for turns just with his shaken gendarmes in front of the Swiss mob... live dangerous, they say!</p><p>It was loads of fun, even though the the disorderment of the pike block had a very decisive effect on the rest of battle. In those days I presume, shot, or even guns, were very effective against crammed pike blocks, but more so probably psychologically. The same goes for Gendarmes, if you catch in these rules somebody's unit disordered, you have half way beaten them!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The Spartans had the first move, divided their units the king to block the left and the rest to stop us from flanking them. I had a division just made out of skirmishers and I would harass them just after I would have destroyed their pesky few helots and men on horses...</p><p>BUT Bart killed my skirmishers with charging my peltats ... and basically swiped them all away in one or two turns. Yes, this was the first game ever, where I could leave the field not doing anything (I switched to umpire).</p><p>So then the Spartans turned the tide and swept around our flank and Alisdairs phalanges attacked us but came too short ... so we attacked and destroyed them, now that was a piece of luck as that was actually what was winning the battle (we would count the units costs points). So Congratulation, Gordon! Your division broke the Peloponnesian neck!</p><p>In the meantime Tim did the best taktic and kept his best, but still inferior Athenian elites out of trouble and pestered and harassed the two Spartan units - successfully with peltasts to the point where only one was not shaken!</p><p>And in the end our 5 units charged the 2 of the Spartans for the endfight. We didn't break them, but we got them shaken and or nearly so, they would not survived another round. BUT we didn't killed them.</p><p>John ( the king of Sparta and CinC of the line) was so gallant to accept the defeat - a truly new era was ushered in. So again Congratulations Gordon and Tim, Especially for the absolute right taktic that was the only successful one vs the Spartans. A Delian victory!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluJRJjpemNRGnLoMRiZF13xKSbsoSW4zqRFCuyOzKHGESA6x9VlHzYC5SVIN91J6jFF55Libx5n7sEsS1CtF4bceFHGACcVK2Rms-0g0WVn3pZ5iugqAjd21s5V_r7stf5CMxOZ42vgtu1YClCyrIS8__9MhrgY5Ciwf-ASKPG4NUk0T6HkbRmqx9NS8/s4032/IMG_7521.JPG" style="margin-left: auto;

And bloody it would soon be the British suffered multiple blunders which made their attacks more piecemeal, which made the whole thing a certain win for the patriots - so we decided to let them have another brigade of the same (after the first one was eliminated) to come again on the table.</p><p>This time it was a co-ordinated attack and unlocked the Americans of the old farm, as they were running out of ammo for the guns. Soon the table turned and two of the three farms were in British hands. The Americans started to withdraw to keep the unit tally at least in their favour.</p><p>I would say it had the flavour as the British losses were more than the Americans, but eventually the Rebels had to leave the field. A draw that cost them a lot.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0fSof2iGrf6QQyno9TN9PJlh-tVvXcyszx04X7QtBfozkmxgIJ8bQZ8fArnDbZ_0w93o2pE75admPadILP-vKeylkCSNxn3dUQhmLe6vpAON5NW6fpgb6XBB6Vw_bnK8PMplSvK4IAtH-zu8DySeSK_RVHZsefkUci-pYrtANvaPYzZILjh0g1H0WM3E/s4032/IMG_7420.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

We used/tested my new rules "Second Empire" for that. Bart was with Gordon and Alisdair on the French side and me Andrew and Tim were fighting for Prussians Glory! The collection of miniatures (Pendraken) was mine.</p><p>The scenario was impossible to win for the Frenchies simply because of the time restraints, but they came pretty close. The 3rd corp was sitting on a road / and a small town surrounded by hills with a few fortresses, that needed to be cleard for the retreating French army. The Guard corp just got half a corps as auxilliaries to do the task! Allez!</p><p>The advance was a bit slow (NOTE: and I really should think of introducing multiple moves!! including faster moves for skirmisher!). Gordon and Bart Came down from the left with heavy artillery and loads of infantry, while Andrew, in charge of the Prussian cavalry division, and Tim in charge as CinC and commander of the hill fortress and the other division faced the cavalry of the guard of Alisdair and the cavalry reserve on our right flank.</p><p>First we peppered them with some gun shots, but my dicing was abysmal. Then Alisdair invoked THE cavalry battle which turned into a major slaughter on the right flank, but Tim in exchange for the complete division of cavalry held the line (NOTE: to upgrade the cavalry a tiny bit, they were fragile, but no eggshells either!).</p><p>Then finally Bart centre attack was coming down, his troops stayed outside the needle gun range and raked my lines. The most devastating effect had the conservative flanking attack from Gordon, he just annihilated my left and the gate for occupying the left fortress and the small town would be achievable in the next three turns. BUT thanks to the time out, that did not happened.</p><p>49 Prussian bases vs 38 French bases "killed" speaks a clear message, the moral victory definitively belongs to Napoleon III! Congratulations, Bart, Gordon and Alisdair!</p><p>I have to tinker a bit again with the rules for the next time, but it goes smoother everytime...</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Tim joined Bart on the Austro-Saxon side while Alisdair and me fought for Frederick II.</p><p>A classical fighting retreat scenario:</p><p>The Prussian stole some heavy guns (thus low on ammo, 1d3 shots) from the Saxons and made it to a camp near the bridge of Gross-Mühlwitz (exit for the Prussian camp waggons if needed). Unfortunately the Saxons caught a depeche rider and planned a surprise attack - thus got the first move after the Prussians deployed. The heavy guns would be 2 Victory point, the camp hut 1 each (but could be converted into waggons to flee) and each killed unit (or retreating off the table) would be 1 VP - what could go possibly wrong.</p><p>So Bart got all his Infantry on the centre and the bridge side to shell and advance, while Tim had all the cavalry and attacked sharp the outnumbered Prussians hussars. The tactical question was how long would you fire the siege guns and when would you start to retreat with them, as it would be "staff officer costly".</p><p>As I pressed Alisdair into the role of general, he has to take the complete responsibility (obviously) for his decision to stay and shoot the attack to the ground... which never happened, because I rolled SHIT!!! Then we packed up the big guns only to be hit in the flank by the light cavalry of the Saxons claiming 4VP in one turn only. The rest was done while we slowly retreated we got pummeled by the Saxons guns and lost regiment by regiment.</p><p>The Prussians just cannot retreat apparently.</p><p>We salvaged one siege gun and 4 camp waggons (6VP) at the end and had 1 enemy unit killed! Bart and Tim had two siege guns destroyed (4VP) and 5 units killed or destroyed = 9 VP vs 7 VP = clear Austro- Saxon victory!!! Congratulations both, a deserved victory! The retreat would have probably not gotten any more messy, but the chances to kill or destroy a Saxon unit were shrinking towards zero.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The only thing we managed to get right was the bomber morale last time, but hey!</p><p>This time Bart brought his tiny Hurricane Polish squadron, it had less effect on the outcome that in real history, but we all learn. Some spitfires were from Tim, and I supplied Bf 109Gs and 3 He111s as yet again in fear of the better stats, I wasn't allowed to field my FW190. That has to wait until the British have better planes, as we cannot have scenarios not in favour of the Brits.</p><p>So Bart, Tim and Peter played for the British and Alisdair, me and Mike for the Reich. Alisdair and Bart had an ace in their tiny squadron. I took the bombers and Mike the rest of the Messerschmidts.</p><p>We should win if my bombers destroyed the TWO (Oil tank objective???). Apart from nobody knowing what and how exactly that should have played in the rules the British fighters outnumbered us in actual machines and points. But hey at least they agreed to fight us.</p><p>So we just started through and mike dived into 2 squadrons and did his best before they shot him down and he had to return with the rest.</p><p>Alisdair did a very large flank advance, but eventually arrived until he too was shot down and had to return to base with the rest of the krauts.</p><p>I was just lucky enough to do cloud jumping with my bombers and actually did not get a hit on any of my machines until the very end of it. Only one of my bombers though made it into the 6" range of one target and then missed. One got shot down, but my squadron morale was still intact. i don't think with only two bombers two objectives are possible but otherwise they wouldn't have dared to come against me I guess, hahar!</p><p>We had again tremendously fun ... until next time! We certainly do it again.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0e7F5JZUxYebJU8toZMYXKI7mrSmzYLY5H3rvUKMlaK7yx1hKqxi2L13DIRCuxr1wE55MfkdeVmSWVges0gwuq5gstzRiDB4Dzgtv3Ju0XCb9MOYzGBGWuZyGpGz-rHwiR6BHEisR5mC-7QmQBPnofxLm5sb7oO-hb3CEaOWtFzs5HPHkEBriNjyaKf0/s4032/IMG_6843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

I provided the Messerschmidts and the Heinkels while Tim got his Spitfires and Hurricans barely ready (without the decals) to defend the white cliffs of Dover.</p><p>Bart and me and Mike and Campbell flew for the Reich, Campbell wanted to be the bomber squadron! While Peter, John and Alisdair and Tim were defending the islands.</p><p>It took a couple of turns to get into the rules and the centre of the table, but then it was developing quite rapidly. We send a lot of RAF fighters to the ground, Tims squadron even had to turn home because of too many Blast tokens!</p><p>BUT... Mike wasn't that successful in deflecting the squadrons of Peter and John and they in turn honed in on Campbell and finally shot them down just a turn before they could reach the cliffs...</p><p>Congratulations to the RAF commanders! We had a blast of fun and we all agreed to do it again next week!</p><p>We probably missed some finer rules and surly made some mistakes, but all agreed that the rules were easy to learn and quick to play.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

We tested my quick and dirty "Second Empire " rules (right now nothing more than a play sheet, we started with Black Powder, but it had left the being that and started into something new...).</p><p>I actually thought I could give Bart some of his own scenarios, so I had all the Prussians on the table but the French had to come on by piecemeal. What could go wrong? Though Bart and Tim had some difficulties to get on the table first, David who I gave the left flank to hinder Bart just hesitated. Not because of the rules or the dice forced him so, no but because of .. I don't know ... I guess I just put that to fog of war or friction ... and watched the inevitable enfold... and Bart had all the time to concentrate his forces.</p><p>On my side me and time we had a glorious cavalry clash that pretty much destroyed our both cavalry arms.

But I'm still out for Revanche, oh ok that's their thing well never mind. The rules work and I just have to write them down, haha!

So we organised a fictional bash (using this time Black powder 2 plus assorted useful rules from var. supplements) between my Russians and their (fictional) allies the Prussians vs Barts Saxonians and my Austrian cavalry, as Barts Saxon cavalry is still rather haemophilliac at the moment, but we come to that later.</p><p>It would be a multiple player, short club night scenario, and as Bart set up the table he volunteered as umpire later he joined his Saxon side. </p><p>The scenario would be both sides would enter with their cavalry and try to hold a village and a bridge in the "middle" (I use that term here very loosely) of the table. </p><p>Some national specialities were also introduced, namely the Saxonian "Geschwindstück" (I will hold a workshop for the correct pronounciation, if anybody is interested), The superior Austrian cavalry, the Saxonian Lancers, the superbly drilled Prussian Infantry (incl. platoon fire) and the abysmal command of the Russian (brigade orders minus 1, and no CinC re-roll), to name a few. In hind sight they worked a treat, very playable. </p><p>So we diced about the initiative and the Austro-Saxonians won, and their cavalry promptly occupied the bridge and the village. It was decided to use the full movement of the rules, just in case some Saxons would stumble the short distance to the bridge. Then the Russian failed to turn up for two turns (see above), which basically sealed the fate of this well thought through scenario.</p><p>Just to cut it short, like the suspension of excitement of this subtle set-up, the Prussian Hussars attacked the Austrian Dragoons and Cuirassiers and destroyed them. The Polish Uhlans attacked and ... well it might be Bart's fascination for all things with a lance (I blame Polish Catholicism) but they died pretty quickly and were halted by Russian understaffed Line infantry in marching column and then shot off by some few Prussian Jägers who just happened to be near. A mess in white and red "glory" with blood and horse gore on the battlefield (much like politics today).</p><p>Then when the Russians were finally at the shooting range to the village the time ran out. What a victory for the Saxonian Infantry! And of course, for the heroic self-less stand of the BEST cavalry in the world, no sorry, the Austrians! The Polish Uhlans were today, sadly, just mentioned as men on horses with sticks. I do not mention their artillery, it didn't participate in the battle.</p><p>It was a lot of fun ... and the rest. :)</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2omMn2gaN96XQdooZH6ctCq0b2rlM5CajsAofk9G0BLrnGjoj-ZOJYjMJa51BjGbdP1qqxPp_GNmyxNIcIujLsjqRYut9KDK72tJ18lnP7u0yaweWpWWBNPkNtbHTy95DfLEc7yvw3xdXEbmk3TojMzZEwk3vbSeLJH1nEiKyf5PfaNm1jBeu4DHa/s4032/IMG_6373.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2omMn2gaN96XQdooZH6ctCq0b2rlM5CajsAofk9G0BLrnGjoj-ZOJYjMJa51BjGbdP1qqxPp_GNmyxNIcIujLsjqRYut9KDK72tJ18lnP7u0yaweWpWWBNPkNtbHTy95DfLEc7yvw3xdXEbmk3TojMzZEwk3vbSeLJH1nEiKyf5PfaNm1jBeu4DHa/w400-h300/IMG_6373.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Russian finally found the battlefield ...</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5qoFLPRg2oTs4QarsoI7opnuOT2j6ujKjH8RTt5RytsbZ6AwP0Q7VHEq8Gza-5pSLh-4spVmcbqxo0hXzQ6EV2AGT6wMvQuHfZnPsUnkoMOK05pTxFaDMio1pjvpTEZjF6Vx_Mbb4MtWY97sLsqZToGhSJ8DPUk2SU1HEXAg__muAWkDJgiJ1fvFw/s4032/IMG_6374.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5qoFLPRg2oTs4QarsoI7opnuOT2j6ujKjH8RTt5RytsbZ6AwP0Q7VHEq8Gza-5pSLh-4spVmcbqxo0hXzQ6EV2AGT6wMvQuHfZnPsUnkoMOK05pTxFaDMio1pjvpTEZjF6Vx_Mbb4MtWY97sLsqZToGhSJ8DPUk2SU1HEXAg__muAWkDJgiJ1fvFw/w400-h300/IMG_6374.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Russian Guard Dragoons attack the Austrian cavalry</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwh3aXo7wNPTtFvMewhNU3IMJfnAPiwd0KGFL9JTjVVfXZSP2SF9b73q8QcTc5ZK7SC5JiZHGMwvJriF6jxXVjeHZl4IACX05MkVB4WBaRzZl0AoIYEEbss8XZVBqKzwT_pian9nTLM9STjk2Pfcfa5Nczi6CsEmWTmHI00K_sY3qGzoQQ4yhLmNDd/s4032/IMG_6375.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwh3aXo7wNPTtFvMewhNU3IMJfnAPiwd0KGFL9JTjVVfXZSP2SF9b73q8QcTc5ZK7SC5JiZHGMwvJriF6jxXVjeHZl4IACX05MkVB4WBaRzZl0AoIYEEbss8XZVBqKzwT_pian9nTLM9STjk2Pfcfa5Nczi6CsEmWTmHI00K_sY3qGzoQQ4yhLmNDd/w400-h300/IMG_6375.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Prussians came on the battlefield ...</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTXQZXdmAh_r_PeluSf9Hc8AfTKaEJYVoJgiRKDOQr-WNZ4iSMEqw9l-UwdSIoiz1BJTh8zBPne1GZQccKsmA5eHLlYJqb78u2Xp2dxEpckalu8RagVL7pAhBP9jEIy1roKrcacYNUSE0xN1XvUxKZUcXI52Zohu466nA-xRscx4LjwKofw0cnN1KC/s4032/IMG_6376.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTXQZXdmAh_r_PeluSf9Hc8AfTKaEJYVoJgiRKDOQr-WNZ4iSMEqw9l-UwdSIoiz1BJTh8zBPne1GZQccKsmA5eHLlYJqb78u2Xp2dxEpckalu8RagVL7pAhBP9jEIy1roKrcacYNUSE0xN1XvUxKZUcXI52Zohu466nA-xRscx4LjwKofw0cnN1KC/w400-h300/IMG_6376.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After the v.

I offered my French part of my collection as a sparring partner, what could possibly go wrong. We built up a nice terrain on a 8x6 table and I let John built up a camp first - right in the middle, not knowing where the French and Swiss would come charging at him. He would deploy first with the English, then me with the French within 12" of any English unit and then he would have the first turn. The one with the less casualties wins ...</p><p>My Swiss were poised to the south to crash like a thunder into the gap in the wall of the English camp. BUT they didn't move! NOT for three turns, sacre bleu! Thus giving away my only hope to win and to break into the formidable fortress of Bouloge-Sur-Bierre. Piecemeal attack at best, my light guns were ineffective and thus easily picked off by the English. One gun even exploded!</p><p>The French cavalry attack though was the opposite, short sharp and successful. But it left them dispersed over the hills, I had difficulties to get them into the fight.</p><p>The Landsknechts of both sides of the Imperial borders gave a bad war... but just took it to a draw.</p><p>Which was to be the conclusion of the main battle at large. The first separate attacks were too exhaustive and piecemeal and the following fights mostly were draws that could have gone either way. My cavalry superiority failed to hit home as they were enjoying the country side of Flanders apparently - so we ended the battle with a cordial draw.</p><p>John defended the camp stoic with his newly recruited (painted) troops, who could not capitalise on a victory, but weren't defeated either!!</p><p>We all had a lot of fun and I am looking forward to see more of this Henry VIII on the table...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Bart and myself brought our collections out, I played the outnumbered Prussians (6 brigades, my collection) versus 12 Austrians (mine as well) and Saxonians (all Barts collection) brigades, to test some new minor rules amends and of course to enjoy such a huge heap of wonderfully painted lead.<div><br /></div><div>Bart would come on in at the short edge of a 12x6ft table with the whole might of this Austro-Saxon moloch of an army, while I had already 2 cavalry brigade on the table. The overall objective was that Bart had to cross the river AND get both towns (villages) to claim victory, unit kills would not count!</div><div><br /></div><div>To prevent such unstoppable magma from pouring over the river let alone the table, was just futile, so I gave him the bridge town (which we named Osgiliatow) send my horses to the front to harrass him (and mostly to screen my deployment from his cavalry) to defend the town we duped Minas-Tiritzen. He shall / cannot pass!</div><div><br /></div><div>In the first hours, Bart was getting stronger and stronger, while my few feeble attempts to attack his cavalry were repelled. It was becoming clear that he would dominate my initiative soon, but also that he would struggle to bring such a force to bear any effectiveness in time - movement logistics mainly (but we might also alter the march column bonus for such scenarios).</div><div><br /></div><div>After some time his artillery finally arrived and prompt shot one of my medium batteries off the table. Austrian gun batteries are and should not to be trifled with!!! My cavalry was slowly melting away and losing its effectiveness and my guns started to give fire. I had more shots than the Austro-Saxonians... but to no avail, my firing and aiming was ABYSMAL. The bulk of the white flood was slowly coming nearer ...</div><div><br /></div><div>At 18pm I had to leave, so we finished things up, Bart did unleashed the last fire and some attacks, but he could not dislodge me from Minas-Tiritzen in any near turn... maybe, if we would have played until midnight. But even then he would be running out on ammo, I would so as well 2 turns later, our cavalry would have little or no effect (both rallied and "coming back" as raw units). So the Infantry would have to fight it out again, and he had still a ratio of 2:1. So - he accepted defeat under the given, very difficult, scenario settings, but the Prussian would have just about held out until nightfall (and would be gone in the morning very likely).</div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe I should have been more aggressive, who knows. But we were both, very typical of the era, not to eager to engage into any daring attacks as we know it can have dire consequences ... ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>The game was a total blast of fun, apart from my uncharacteristical aiming fumbles, and the testing was successful as well - I will update in due time soon.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you are interested in the rules we played, please see under:</div><div><a href="https://meneken.blogspot.com/p/seven-years-set-of-rules-for-gaming.html">https://meneken.blogspot.com/p/seven-years-set-of-rules-for-gaming.html</a></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

This time we alternated the movement of all as per brigade by brigades each opponent - and it worked very well. In case you are interested, have a look under:</p><p><a href="https://meneken.blogspot.com/p/seven-years-set-of-rules-for-gaming.html">https://meneken.blogspot.com/p/seven-years-set-of-rules-for-gaming.html</a></p><p>Bart brought his Saxons collection, mainly guns and infantry, while I lend him my Austrian cavalry against my own Prussian collection. As it turned out, Mike, Peter and Alisdair wanted to fight for Frederich II, so I had the honour to side with Tim and Bart, fighting for the Saxon/Austrians. I let the players move into the field by brigade by brigade (of their choosing), while we had a simultaneous command/staff officer allocation phase but then the execution of the orders brigade by brigade alternating by player - the one with the highest initiative started.</p><p>So the beginning was organically and little bit like Guibert's attack system... and slow. But then especially Alisdair with the Prussian medium gun batteries were peppering the Saxons quite nicely.</p><p>The Infantries were entangled into heavy fire fights and Mikes Prussian cavalry attack was initially beaten back. Unfortunately for Tim the Austrian cavalry could not dislodge their Prussian counterpart and therefore threaten the overwhelming Prussian guns. So Tims infantry started to advance ... into their doom.</p><p>We had to stop, because of time constrains, but due to Alisdairs killing skill with his artillery, we Austro-Saxons had to concede defeat - an entire brigade of 3 infantry battalions was been blown to pieces.</p><p>The new changes to the rules worked well and everybody seemed happy.
