| A view across the battlefield showing the state of play at the end of turn six |
We are currently in the midst of fighting a wonderful 1806 scenario generously supplied by Eltjo in the Netherlands based on action during the Battle of Jena.
 |
| Prussian Grenadiers and Musketeers enter the battle |
 |
| The Kripendorf windmill |
 |
| French Ligne prepare to cross the stream |
 |
| A series of cavalry clashes highlighted the early turns. The French light cavalry battled hard against cuirassiers and hussars |
 |
| The French guns unlimbered and ready for action on their “John Ray” bases that I absolutely adore the look of. A bit of John D and Doug M goodness in the rear |
We are returning to the battle this Saturday. It could genuinely go either way.
Super looking game, so many lovely figures to admire, top notch stuff!
ReplyDeleteReally generous comments Donnie. Thank you.
DeleteThat's a great looking game; taking small elements of a battle for a scenario usually generates a far more interesting clash than a classic line 'em up and advance game.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more Rob. Very much " eating the elephant one bit at a time mentality" which is very satisfactory
DeleteA beautiful looking game Carlo…
ReplyDeleteInspirational as always…
All the best. Aly
Always a gentleman Aly. Many thanks.
DeleteQuite a nice looking game going on there.
ReplyDeleteThat windmill is a crazy thing. 😀
Hi Stew and always wonderful to see you drop by and read your comments. That windmill was so much fun to put together and paint and really does help the terrain look the part. Thanks as always.
DeleteTerrific. That cavalry clash looks awesome but I particularly liked the close up of the Prussian infantry.
ReplyDeleteStephen
I really liked that shot too DB. Thanks so much for your comments.
DeleteTerrific looking game.
ReplyDeleteCheers P.
DeleteNice one Carlo. A great specific period. I have a Prussian brigade for same but it's not even on the painting table and unlikely to be for some time. Good looking fight with a lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you Greg. If you're ever over this side of the country we will dust them off again and get them out mate.
DeleteIt all looks very special , as usual, Carlo. Great to see all the 1806 authentic bicornes
ReplyDeleteThank you for your always so kind and positive comments Chris. Yes i am a bit OCD when it comes to the uniforms at times and that can be an expensive exercise as you well know. WE had a great time playing the game.
DeleteSuperb as always, Carlo. Need to get back to my Napoleonic project I think. Best regards. Phil
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to Phil as your figures are always so tremendous. Saw some of your old SYW figures on the table next to me at the club the other night. Still stunning mate.
DeleteA delayed Bravo from Berlin Carlo
ReplyDeleteI trust that the Prussians managed to right the wrongs of history in the game! I'm sure that that would make the locals happy. 😀
A lovely looking game as always.
Salute
von Peter himself, totally unbiased in these matters
Great game Peter - update and conclusion to follow however let me just say that Prussia was very proud if not completely satisfied.
DeleteSuperb looking game as usual Carlo - makes me realise I've neglected my Napoleonics for too long
ReplyDeleteCheers and Thanks Kerry and may i say I've loved your photos and travel log. Superb.
DeleteNow you are truly back blogging Carlo!
ReplyDeleteLooks grand, comme toujours.
Regards, James
*Now* you are really back blogging Carlo!
