The British artillery kept up a constant fire throughout the battle
The only means of rapid movement on the field
The musketry duel on the Allied right forced the French to withdraw
On the left the Allied foot witnessed the defeat of the French cavalry
On the right the French line infantry were in full retreat
So with the rain starting to fall and the distant rumbling of stomachs the Emperor conceded defeat, without the need of Prussian involvement the Iron Duke still couldn't believe how his normal pathetic dice rolls had changed to winning almost everything!
A good time was had by all.
Next time I will detail how the armies were organised and briefly describe the rules we used.
If you have stayed with us so far, thanks for your interest and stamina!
Eric
It has been our pleasure!
ReplyDeleteIt indeed is a big pleasure to follow this blog!
ReplyDeleteCurious towards the next post! Your paint work keeps impressing me! Although I don't feel much interest towards the British army of that time I do like your work the Royal Horse artillery limber!

ReplyDeleteHi Eric - always great to see your lovely figures; beautifully converted and painted. It's inspired me to get out the Greenstuff to finish off some half-done 54mm Moorish cavalry for a Tangiers skirmish! What are you planning to do next (a man needs a plan!) - it's only four years to the 210th anniversary of Borodino (just a thought!) ...
ReplyDeleteWill be interested to see your organisation. I would to love see a painting guide/tutorial as well if you wanted to share some tips and techniques. My experience is smaller scale so I find the larger figures a bit daunting. Thanks Eric
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous game for you both and a marvellous ride for us from afar.
