Battle report SYW in Germany

[fredthegreat]

Hello,

My name is Michel, from Normandy, France. In my club, we have just begun using Black Powder, but we are enthusiastic. Here is the report of our first battle, somewhere in northern Germany in 1759.

Sorry, it's in french... and the allies lost.
Best regards.

I can hardly read a word of French but enjoyed the pictures tremendously Thankyou! The mix of figures and re enactment was a nice touch. Figures look great
I have one negative observation....very serious looking friends; perhaps decorate the table with some wine glasses and some of your finest vintages next time?

This lloks great.
I always thought that 12 figure battalions would be too small, but you prove otherwise.
Great battlereport and great figures.
Thansk for sharing
greetings

Grant a dit...

Terrific report, love the story and the detail! You have a talent to be sure! What brand are the minis and the terrain?

Like Carvel, unfortunately my French is not great, but I thoroughly enjoyed all the excellent photos and the beautiful minis, scenery and board. top quality work. Thanks for posting.

Lovely battle report. I noticed the use of individually based figures using movement trays to more easily move the figures.

Superb painting but brings up a pet hate of mine, eyes. By comparing how people have painted the eyes of the figures with the live action shots we can see the difference



Truly you have to be very close to someone to see the whites of their eyes!

And did I see figures being removed as casualties?

Excellent painting and nice report,but im afraid my french is not too good but i got the basics

Many Thanks My Lords.
Don't be confused. For this report, I used many ancient words from eighteenth century french, which is quite difficult to understand, even for the frenchs. Next time, I will perhaps write a summary in english.
We truly like Black Powder, but our units were made for other rules (Warfare in the age of Reason, and a WAB-like for 18th century). That's why we used 12 figures battalions. We also removed casualties and used markers for disorders.
The brands of the figures are (mostly) Front Rank and Foundry.
And yes, as true frenchs, we like wine. But our wargaming club is housed with other associations which don't authorize alcohol. It's very sad indeed. Dura lex, sed lex.
