Played another excellent game of FogR today against Stephen using my Early Catholic this time with Late Tercios against Ottomans with minimum Mounted. Great game again with my mounted wing charging uphill (a strong position for defenders as with no recoil or push backs in system they have to be routed to lose the uphill POA), could have gone either way but once my Cuirassier units each lost a base to death rolls they begin to wane. I really ought to be less aggressive with them and hunt enemy mounted not large foot units but it is for sure fun hurling them in ! Not much action elsewhere as we were both loathe to advance anywhere near Artillery. Time ran out but Imperialists well up against it and not looking good for their future well being.................................
Imperialist deployment
Turks deployed
Turk Cavalry
Later Tercios
Turk Heavy Artillery and supports
Jannissaries advance onto hill
Their mounted opponents approach
Beautiful game.

Hi
ReplyDeleteThanks for comments, the Renn armies are interesting and colourful of themselves and we are constantly finding in FogR that troops that seem the same are subtly diverse on the table at least in our TYW encounters.
Cheers
Lovely looking game, Sgt. Steiner. If I wasn't such a Napoleonics tragic, I think the era of Pike and Shot would be the period I'd do next.
ReplyDeleteHi funnily I have just started first Napoleonics ever ! 1813 Prussians nearly done (well initial batch !!) and eyes have crossed several times !!

What Napoleonic rules do you use ? I am basing for Lasalle.
