A WSS game from the Sunday Cake Club

[Darkman]

Just a few pictures from our WSS game today. The allies were out numbered so had to go on the defensive to start with. French/Bavarians 22 Battalions 38 Squadrons. Allies 13 Battalions, 25 Squadrons.













The one village was heavily contested until the Danes were thrown out by the French only in turn to by removed by a combined Danish Hesse Kassel assault.

The massed French cavalry assault on their right flank (20 Squadrons) were halted by British Battalions and Austrian counter attacks and then thrown back by a British cavalry assault.

On the other wing the Bavarian cavalry did a splendid job of pushing back Allied Dragoons and Hesse Kassel cavalry but were let down by a tardy advance by French infantry.

Allies won in the end as the French had over extended them selves and were about to be rolled up from their right flank

All in all a very good game (written by an Allied player of course)

Lovely table

Really nice looking game. And just about the right size. How big are your squadrons? The infantry look great but it is unusual to base them in three ranks. Any particular reason or did it just look right?

Excellent looking game and a lovely table. Unfortunately, no cakes appear to be present. Is this an oversight, or is the club name just misleading?

Nice....

Got to love those Frotn Rank sculpts, especially en masse

Hi The Cavalry are in Squadrons of 6 and are small units, this makes them fragile v foot but allows for mass cavalry combats.

The Rank firing foot are 3 ranks deep and we have Platoon firing 2 ranks deep. Look at the British foot at the top of one of the photos.

The Sunday cake club requires you to bring cake for your fellow gamers to eat. So there are always enough cake to go round

It is all about the cake and also about the game. Honest.

Glad to hear it! It shouldn't be any other way!
