As is traditional, we had a large Napoleonic game on the last Monday meet before Christmas. I think that the allies cracked the French centre in the dying minutes of the battle, but can't quite remember, although I do remember one of the players rolling a triple '10' on 3d10 - a 1,000 to one shot!
Four games were hosted on Monday night, three of which are posted here, representing a huge span of military history from Medievals to WWII (the fourth one - sci fi - is covered in the next post).
These match-ups included Byzantines vs Normans, French vs Spanish and British vs Germans.

In this interesting scenario, the French had to assault the Austrians, who were lying in wait on the far side of a hill. The French managed to carry the day by aggressively thrusting at the Austrian artillery line. Their momentum took them into the Austrian columns, which mostly broke on contact.
Napoleonics dominated this evening. In the main scenario, the French cavalry managed to charge across the bridge and rout their Prussian counterparts. The Prussians had difficulty in deploying their infantry, due to congestion on the road, providing the French with more time to ford the river and drive the Germans from the field.
