The armies of Britain and France again met across a verdant battleground. This time two full Brigades of British infantry were supported by an Spanish and Portuguese brigade, two regiments of cavalry and two batteries of artillery.

The attacks were of course led in most places by the french, who came on in 'Order Mixte' to some effect. The most notable maneuver of theirs however was catching the highlanders unprepared with their heavy Dragoons. The only place the British were aggressive was on the right flank where a ridge line hid each force from the other. Both sides raced to the high ground, but the British and Portuguese got there first.


Another rip roaring game, but a little too big for the day, 400 points a side left little time to play out the whole action, though not helped by taking an hour and a half to get troops sorted and the battle started! Next time a little smaller I think, but still, pushing 600 little men around the table looked good and was plenty of fun for a Sunday afternoon...
Excellent Report Dean! Looks like fun. Really enjoyed that post.
ReplyDeleteVery long game. Hope you went to the pub afterwards.
Dean, I would like to exchange links with the grimsby wargames society website at http://www.gywargames.co.uk.
I shall be happy to be add to our links.
The site is undergoing an overhaul and will probably go live in just over a month. It would be great if you could contribute to it as an ex-member and occasional visitor. Will be adding you to our list of bloggers too cos you always blog your visits to the club. You will need a wordpress logon to do so though.
Thanks
Jason
