Lasalle a solo re-try

On a whim I decided to give Lasalle rules a run out (despite having several untried sets !) using my Prussians (bought and based for Lasalle) against my French.
Forgot what a slick fast playing set they are.
But as always I came up against the 'phalanx' problem wherein two Infantry units in Attack Column ('phalanx') simply run over Infantry in line as they generate double the dice generally.
Tried a couple of house rules such as extra dice for Line shooting but best I came across was if Attack Column suffers a Disruption it must form Line with possible consequences on neighbouring columns etc.





Several pics as I played this over several days as time at a premium at present...........

Lasalle solo

Having played Imperial Eagles (which is in many ways a Lasalle derivative) I decided to have a go with Lasalle itself as been ages since I tried them.
Am trying a house rules for Attack Columns wherein they cannot shoot (as in Shako) and only one can attack each face of an enemy so no doubling up on a line in melee.
I had forgotten what a slick and comprehensive and playable set of rules these are by Sam Mustafa.
My Liberation War Prussians versus Young Guard for a change :-)

And being on a Napoleonic splurge at present I have ordered these from another of my favourite authors Dave Brown

French Young Guard completed

Been having annoying problems with my email on PC past couple of weeks (hopefully resolved by weekend) which has killed my Pbem/Vassal gaming however on the flip side this has enabled me to base up the pre-painted French Young Guard force I obtained. Set up on table for a quick refresher of Lasalle against my Prussians and hoping to blood them properly on Friday evening using Field Of Glory versus Stephens Russians.

Prussians based

Finished basing latest batch of Prussians this evening. One Lassalle type unit of Prussian Line Infantry 7th West Prussian Regiment 1st Battalion (Black Hat figures). Also a Shako unit (ie 12 figs) 4th Battalion 7th West Prussian using the painted figures I bought (manufacturer unknown and 90% re-painted !) at Warfare along with 4 bases of Jager and a Lasalle unit of Foot Artillery (again don't know which figure range ?).


First unit of Old Glory Grenadiers now on painting table.

Photos bit underlit as usual
