We played a FPW game as it had been a while.

Alan and Goldie were the Prusso/Bavarians and Keith/Stephen the French. I was on drinks duty.

Goldie had 2 Prussian brigades and a 4 gun battery. His left flank brigade below.

Goldies centre left brigade, guns to the right of picture.

Alans Bavarian horde……he had the cavalry as well.

Keith also had 2 brigades plus Frech artillery reserve…and some cavalry. He is on French right.

Stevens French of 2 brigades plus a gun and machine gun.

French legere in the ruins centre of table.

Bavarian horde…all prints of Alans.

Goldies centre brigade moves up through the woods.

Another view of Alans horde.

There were 2 villages…on French left flank of table and one in centre right…which is one below. Keith is in possession, however Goldie has attacked and got into the village.

Alan has attacked the village on his side as well.

A unit supporting the flank of Goldie assault on the village fell foul of infantry fire…3 batteries and a mitrailleuse…..as you would expect they ‘evaporated’.

Alans assault in village failed and he bounced back.

Over on other flank, after a slow start Goldie had a rapid charge up……..

As you can see from gap below…it did not go very well.

So, in village below… Goldie got in….so 8 attacks v French 6…he lost…..

Alan charges into village to his front again…..

The French legere in woods were still holding on at end of game….had 2 units to its rare for when they eventually popped!

Last picture…was a lot going on at this stage…and I just forgot to take pictures…BAD ME!

So, at games end, Goldies flank brigade was almost if not broken…Stephen’s right hand brigade was 1 casualty away from breaking…so a fun game…normally slug fest for this period. As to which side won…..they can debate that amongst themselves!

Until next time… Terry out.
