Battle of Jena 1806

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

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.

Let’s get the wagons rolling again

 Just a quick note today as I received a great deal of correspondence when I took down my two blogs in January.  It was interesting as sometimes you think that no one particularly follows what you are putting up and if they do, the lack of comments can at times make you believe that the content is of little interest to anyone but yourself.

The next step then is to think that perhaps the blog is simple an extension of unfettered self-indulgence that lacks a place in your hobby life going forward…and then you think…”What’s wrong with a little self-indulgence these days anyway?”.

Roll on 2024.
