Lasalle Prussian vs French 1814

Lasalle game today with Stephen using my Prussians against his Young Guard. French were attackers but with rain and mud their chance of success fairly minimal (as their eight turns barely allowed them to reach my set up zone even in march column) no complaints on Prussian side ! still an interesting game with French having 4 batteries of Artillery (2 x 3 guns batteries with reserve unit) and Prussians having 5 on table Cavalry units (3 Landwehr 1 Dragoon & 1 Hussar). French Artillery fairly pounded my center blasting my Foot artillery and Line Infantry unit. Draw in end mud slowed all progress.

  3. Looks good Sgt S,
    Maybe you could have let the French start a little closer to you? :-)

    Those Prussian guns look cool

  6. Hi Yorkie

    We have been using the army builder to play games with core force plus 1 pick (seems big enough for 6x4 table). Whilst learning rules obviously bit slower but I would say 3-4 hours as all games are 16 turns (8 per side) and then dice for max 5 additional turns.

  7. Sounds good. 3-4 Hours probably about right for game on a weekend, maybe have to aim for smaller games for a club night or a game on a week night though.

    Cheers
