Another Napoleonic "imagi-nation" game last week, this time Scenario No. 2 in Mr Asquith's book "Scenarios for all ages". As I have only a six by four feet board available at the moment, I scaled down his map to fit the terrain, but otherwise I kept the opposing sides as given in the scenario. I played the attackers - Arcadia - as the defence - Nemea - just had to hold the area of hills and the river in order to prevent their opponents breaking through. I used my Napoleonic version of the Perry ACW "Firepower" rules again. Victory went to the defenders, who held out against a series of infantry assaults, as well as a belated cavalry charge, on their right wing, and a rather timid commander on the attackers' right.
Here is a collection of photographs, with captions added for the end of appropriate turns and extra details about the units involved.
Thanks very much for sharing and all the hard work that went into that. Loved the end of turns shots - photo 24 is a classic table shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, glad you enjoyed the game. I did think some of the photos were a bit Grant, The War Game, in style!
