Running the Gauntlet

Was invited to a friends VSF wargame - played out using the In Her Majesty's Name rules.

This was suppose to be the 'final part' of an ongoing series of scenarios - naturally things didn't turn out as expected.

The Prussians, and their 'guest', Queen Victoria are hanging out up river at a friendly Sultan's palace. They are awaiting transportation back home. The British are, naturally, attempting to rescue her.

Victoria's Carriage is 'escorted' by a Prussian Heavy Tank and a four-legged 'Walker'.

Wavre

The Battle of Wavre, quite a significant battles of the Napoleonic era. This holding action by the Prussians helped the main body of Bluchers army escape and reach a rather more well known battle, taking place just to the west, at Waterloo. It also denied Napoleon the use of some much needed troops, in the form of the 3 corps under the command of Marshal Grouchy.

The Waterloo rules are once more undergoing refinement, but this time in 15mm, with the figures supplied by Dave M. Prussians commanded by Matt and Tel, French by Tony and Dave M.

Trial of Eagles

Played a test game of Age of Eagles in preparation for Dave M's Play By EMail kicking off. Smallish forces of French and Prussians clash in a large area, interspersed with woods, and with plenty of room to manoeuvre. A game that saw a small force of battered Landwehr Cavalry take on fresh Polish Guard Lancers. Of course, since dice were involved, there was only ever going to be one outcome in a situation like this...
