After getting confused with Valour & Fortitude rules last week, we regrouped for a small game with a clearer understanding of modifiers and values in terms of numbers of dice rolled, and the score needed to pass.
Table set up:
Shevardino Village - two blocks of defensible terrain:
All set - some French Colonels appear to have ordered line - Grrr!
These lads are in Column like all good Frenchmen!
The French team - John and Daniel - waste no time closing up!
The heavy batteries in the redoubt exacted a heavy cost:
2eme Hussards!
Daniel on the left flank moved on the village:
Whilst John on the right focused on the redoubt.
By this point the French Heavy cavalry arrived and linked up the two flanks
With everything aligned, the French assault went in...
The Jaegers defending the redoubt routed in the first round of combat...
Leaving the gunners to fend for themselves!
We are all now feeling much more confident about using Valour & Fortitude. A much bigger game next week, then we will be in great shape to run the mega game of Borodino...
Excellent account! Thanks for posting
