well here we are again those jolly Russians can't help themselves
I've taken French young guards so i have to win well o i'm a gonna
Lined up and ready to go I'm on the defence but seem to forget this and charge off into the distance
They look ready for a pasting don't you think
the russians lined me up and both of us fired away with very little effect
Now we are get in to the thick of it in the next few turns all of the russians were to be destroyed either by the guns of the front unit
will they never learn charging the guns = death
same thing here they charged my guns and died to a man
my squares only just servived the charge
I managed to destroy one Battalion then get around behind the second game finished before i hit them you can see that Craigs artillery are ready to deal to me but they never got a chance game over French victory viva la France Thanks Craig and Andrew for a fun game
Excellent photos, I like the 11th pic, from just behind the guns, just before they fire and make a bloody mess of the poor advancing Ruskies!
ReplyDeleteThat`s a great looking table with a great looking collection of troops.
ReplyDeleteNever did try Lasalle myself though I did read some good stuff about it in various publishings, but it seems to handle big battles quite nicely.
That's a great set of pics and it's good to see so many Perry French on a table!

Great looking game Galpy. Beautiful figures you guys have.
ReplyDeleteWow! Tremendous set and beautifully painted figures; hugely envious.
ReplyDeleteImpressive looking game, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely minis!
ReplyDeleteThe gunners look like they mean business.

Great looking table. As I recall, it was sometime in the second half of 1815 that the Russians learned to quit charging French guns.
ReplyDeleteWe will learn sooner than that I hope. Next time Kent, next time...
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to the rest of the Russian battalion charging the guns- it seems to have deserted the field!
I'm working on a brigade of Jagers now.
To think a month ago both armies were unpainted lead (and/or plastic!)
Next time it will be an 8x4 table or a 6x5 so we will see how extra width or depth works out.

Top figures are painted
