Black Powder Napoleonics - Bavarians v Russians

[Jammers]

Dispositions ..


the Bavarians get the jump on the poorly led Russians (No Commander is better than Lvl7) and capture the Village which is the objective for the game


the Bavs refuse the flank. Can you spell t.r.a.p. boys and girls. Jammers can ...

[Jammers]

Russian Dragoons force the Bavarians into square but will the Russian infantry complete its charge ..?



err, no! The Bavarians blast away at the unsupported horse


enfilade fire is devastating on the Dragoons

[Cubster]

Hey!! So that's why there are dirty great holes cut out of my hall carpet!

[Jammers]

Bavarian light cavalry try to support its left flank in the face of Russian Cuirass and Uhlans


Russian Horse Artillery about to give the square what for while Russian infantry follow up its success and burst through the line ..


Where there was once a Bavarian infantry brigade, there is now only smoke from the large Russian gun battery .. [sulk!]


Note the lack of blue on the Bavarian left in this final picture!

[Jammers]

ResulT: the Bavarians just scraped a win thanks to holding the objective at turn 8. Truly awful dice rolling by my man Ady otherwise he'd have probably walked it

Great fun though

Excellent! One can never have too many ploughed fields. I'm coming round with the carpet scissors

loved it and 15mm brings a different aspect to the game, well done Jammers and thanks for letting me use your Russians

On a 6 x 4 table 15mm gives you a lot of options although you just can't beat 28mm for aesthetics
