Prussian Guard attack at St. Privat, 1870

In this approximate refight of the Prussian Guard Corp attack on the far right of the French line at the battle of Gravelotte-St. Privat, the French managed to just about hold on for the allocated 8 game turns to secure a victory. That said, the Prussians had penetrated the French line in a number of places and would probably have taken the objective if given another couple of turns.

The casualties inflicted on the Guards by accurate Chassepot fire was horrendous, amounting to approximately half of the infantry bases being destroyed. This mirrors the ruinous one third casualties suffered by the Guard Corp in the actual battle.

Some grotesque spurting of 'vile bile' was witnessed in this battle set in the Mortal Realms. The denizens of Nurgle inflict a surprise defeat upon the highly sophisticated and civilised Ogor Mawtribes... (?!).

Imperial Guard vs Prussians

We had a rare sighting at the club of the French Imperial Guard in the form of an Old Guard brigade consisting of Grenadiers and Chasseurs, supported by a Guard artillery battery, along with a regiment of Imperial Guard 'Dutch' Lancers and some Grenadier a Cheval. They were up against a larger, although inferior force of Prussians.

The Prussians managed to clinch a narrow victory after they were able to hold onto the farm buildings located in the centre of the battlefield and, in the final turn, kill the French C-in-C.
