A few weeks ago my brother and I staged our standard 15mm Napoleonic game. Over 1000 pts on each side, Warlord's Black Power rules. I'm starting to get a handle on the Prussians after having mostly played my French. ENJOY!!! Opening the game, here's my left flank. Three landwehr infantry battalions and two squadrons of Uhlans. My center, with come foot artillery and an infantry brigade (2 battalions of musketeers and 1 of fusiliers). In the distance, might French brigades. My far right, more landwehr and hussars. mid-right flank, Saxon line infantry and their chevauleger support My center advances Nothing to see here...just some average French and Polish infantry, artillery, and cavalry... Opposing my right flank. My left flank advances hastily. This move away form center will prove disastrous. As usual, my Prussian regulars fail to form line, get stuck in attack column, and get hammered. The Saxons make a bold mass advance. They be key to turning this flank... ...however, their support is delayed, and they'll briefly take on the French alone... On my left, the landwehr are going to face down the well positioned French attack columns. Scary. My center fares somewhat better, going punch for punch with the Poles. The line is getting set up. I've pushed the right flank while my left is getting pushed back. Action from ground level... ....again... My favorite picture of the night. Those leger look nice firing over that hedge! Sadly for me that means my flank is being crushed. My right flank is still going strong. The landwehr have joined the fight, giving me a clear edge. And my center is at least holding, especially after they finally got out of column. My brother makes a crafty play and brings his 2 middle guard battalions against my right flank. Uh oh... However the brave Saxons will hold... ...but his Polish hussars will chase off my artillery. The French look ready to fold on my right flank.... ...while my own men abandon my left. At this point the lines have shifted greatly, and both sides have suffered many casualties. An uhlan strike tries to break the guard. And the French close up my flank. My left and center have evaporated...but I'm regrouping pretty solid around the fields. *especially compared to my last battle with the Prussians... My right is finally starting to press the advantage. No one's winning, no one's losing... And we're pretty much playing longways now! I've fully closed the door on the right flank (a moral victory, I might add) So as we draw to a close, I've realized the Prussians are actually capable of holding up against the French. I need to remember their "hatred" of the French in hand-to-hand! In the end, both sides are worn out after a several hour bout. Definitely one of the most fun BP games we've played to date.
