Another game with FOB3 a Napoleonic bash this time using a converted GDA scenario covering action during Battle of Dresden on 27th August 1813.
Stephen was the attacking French (lots of Young Guard) and I the Russo-Prussian defenders.
Issue was decided on central hill when Young Guard simply ran over the Russian Brigade defending and split Allied army asunder.
'Dice Demon' just seems to get the rolls and cards he needs at optimum times with even his lowly Skirmish screens inflicting pain on my troops, so many rolls of 8 (I swear he rolled 8 on a d6 !!).
My rolls only seem to come good when Army Morale has zeroed !
We had a couple of early deck reshuffles (tied initiative rolls) which is unusual and I struggled to pull Move cards (a mere 3 all game) .
Another quick and cracking game with FOB, seldom a problem completing a game.
The core of action around hill
Killing ground. The hill deserves a name, like Hill of the Russian Ghosts or something. Glad the game was fun.
ReplyDeleteTwas a bloody part of battlefield as barely any losses elsewhere.
