The Table Is Reset

 The table is set, the recce has been done, and the British general is making his plan. 

Those readers who are familiar with CS Grant's 1st book of scenarios will doubtless recognize the scenario (I'm pretty sure it appeared first as one of the Table Top Teaser magazine articles in the 70's buttttt.... that was awhile ago to say the least.) Those who are familiar with the battles of Marshall de Saxe will also recognize the historical battle that inspired the generic tabletop scenario.

Looks like there's going to be a battle tomorrow!

  2. “Green 1: Positional Defence”. That has always prodcued a good game in my experience. My records aren’t complete to that level of detail, but I think this is the second most frequently used situation from Scenarios for Wargames in my hobby log. Variations of “Green 32 — the Wagon Train” are, I believe, the most frequent. (Although there have also been a number of “Green 41 — A Chance Encounter” (aka Sawmill Village).
