A couple of games were hosted on Monday night,
In a Napoleonics battle, a Prussian army narrowly defeated a French force by holding out against a number of surging French attack columns.
In the WWII Flames of War game, a British Comet Squadron was badly beaten by a German force consisting of Panthers and Jagdpanthers. Nevertheless, a game highlight was when a Piat team broke cover, ran out and KO’d a Jagdpanther with a side shot in a ‘Hail Mary’ attempt to win the game in the final turn - ultimately to no avail.
What system did you use for the Napoleonics?
ReplyDeleteWe use our own house rules. They basically cherry pick features from other rules sets that we like, but are constructed around multiple bases of 3-4 figures; a degree of uncertain command and control; d10s to hit in firing and melee; standard morale tests etc.
DeleteI have a division (2 bdg of infantry, 1 light cav) of Saxons with battalions standard on 4 bases of 4 figures. I'm used to Black Powder / Sharpe Practice but if there's any participation games coming up I'd be interested!
DeleteHi, We always run a large Napoleonics game on the last Monday before Christmas. You could bring your Saxons along and join in?
