Monday, the 19th of July, 1815, near Waterloo ...

DISCLAIMER: If you think this is the actual battle of Waterloo, Pustekuchen! Read further on your own peril! It‘s just the day after ...

54mm (yes, we are getting older and all need glasses), Napoleonics, Rules system, I‘m sorry I forgot , but something along the lines of To the drums and shakos (???). This time Mike surprised us with this excellent scenario and his lovely miniatures. Bart was playing a Polish hussar commander who lost his horses and his chutzpah, understandably after the events of the night before. And (MDF) Mike and (old and new)Mike himself and some lost French troopers were helping him to get out. Me (as Prussian reserve), Chris (as Prussian Jaeger and LI), and Peter and Campbell (as British Line and LI) and Alisdair (as British Cavalry) were hunting him down. One would get points for every killed man, double the officers etc... may the best team win!

So the French Infantry (Mike and Mike) tried to hold us off while Bart thought to await Alisdairs cavalry and shoot him to pieces ... Haha! But the allies were fleet-footed and quick. And shortly we were surrounding the French stragglers and shot them back to hell again. The rules worked really fine for this kind of skirmish, the little brown tokens aren't morale they indicated units that had shot!

Alisdair came later onto the table on the other side of the road were Bart tried to and nearly did annihilate him ... we decided to pull him off before that. Yes, he had the team permission to withdraw! That was a good decision and we finally won point wise 12 to 10 points!

My line of Prussians

Campbell or Peters British

The French and the Polish Hussar Captain

and their initial setup

But soon Chris sneakily flanked them out of the woods

Peters Brits stormed the walls

Campbells line behind a wall

And the "Polish-Frech" unit left over the bridge already

My Line and reserve arrived and shot volleys into the French

.. which they didn't survived

Then Mikes French were coming out of a burned down house!

And Alisdairs hussars arrived!

The shooting continued

... ach re-loading!

But then Alisdair retreated!

View from the bridge ... a man hunt!

yes very vindictive we shot most of them down ...
