We got together for a game of A Gentleman's War this time doing a fictional Franco-Prussian battle. Matt as the French defended the town while Howard and I as Prussians assaulted across the river.
 |
| The French along the edge of the village |
 |
| The square defended with Artillery. |
 |
| Prussian sharpshooters cover the crossing. |
 |
| The Prussian Guard trying not to get their white pants dirty advance through the river. |
 |
| On the Prussian left the Infantry engage the Chassuers D'Afrique. |
 |
| The French face the Prussian steamroller. |
 |
| Finally the Guards reach the other bank and engage the Zouaves. |
 |
| The decisive Cavalry melee mid stream. |
Inspired by Alan at
The Duchy of Tradgardland I took a few Black and White photos.
 |
| Left flank melee. |
 |
| French cavalry run down the Prussian skirmishers. |

OK so
Kronenbourg started brewing beer before this battle but still it's good.
Lovely looking game. What manufacturer are the Prussian sharpshooters.
ReplyDeleteNot sure. Howard's been buying much of his semi round collection as odd lots off Ebay. They look much like the Schildkröt figures.
DeleteNice looking game, lovely buildings and handsome figures...Cheers...from France!
ReplyDeleteThanks, none of them are mine but I get to play with them often :-)
DeletePhil, I'm sorry I did not do France more justice. But they were very brave! Our best defence was a bad offense...
DeleteNo problem!
