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!
Looking forward to the battle report.
ReplyDeleteand I'm looking forward to playing the game1
DeleteAlways look forward to your battles…a great read, every one.
ReplyDelete(blush) Glad to hear it.
Delete“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).
ReplyDeleteI think we've staged a NQSYW version of it at one or more cons..... hmmm....
DeleteA most interesting one it's gonna be too!

I hope so! I had a bit of a hiccup when I realized I needed more troops than I had on the attacking side. So 2 more cavalry are on my painting desk and the uniforms of some of the allied infantry are a bit old fashioned, The table's going to be a bit crowded.
