| The French assault a Russian foot battery |
A great fun game which saw the glorious French 7th Hussars tout a Russian cavalry brigade and the mighty 33rd Ligne take on the battery seen in the photograph above.
 |
| Steve’s Russians always look great and he plays them with a passion and stoutness which is perfect for their abilities on the field. |

| The battle rages on across the tight flank |
Last night was fantastic.
We played a wonderful game of To the Strongest with some lovely troops against some good friends at our brilliant Wargames club. To top that off, it was a close run thing played in such good spirit and humour that my sides were literally aching by games end. Brilliant fun!
As usual blogger has my photos of the night out of chronological order however best to see the action and enjoy the images.
Suffice to say it was a tough and see-sawing battle with the Gauls having the Romans on the precipice until, as is want to happen with the warrior war and style armies, the combined carnage that had accrued proved too much. Seriously enjoyable.

| The battle rages as Cataphracts hit Deep Spearmen |
We played a most enjoyable game at the NWS at last night with 130 points a side of Sassanids taking on Eatly Byzantines. It was a great chance to introduce Phil W to the beauties of TTS and enjoy a wonderful fun game.
It was a tremendously competitive affair. The Byzantines got on top early and though the Sassanids tried valiantly to wrest the advantage back, it proved to be a bridge too far.
A highlight of the game, unless of course you happen to be this author, was a unit of veteran of scorned Indian elephants being hit on the flank by dastardly Byzantines and though hit twice, and being safe on anything but a 1 or 2, well...I’m sure you guessed the outcome.
Another wonderful nights wargaming with friends.
