Re-creating the Napoleons retreat from Russia. It was a very interesting game that we had never tried before, Infantry only versus Cavalry only battle using Principles of War rules.<br />
<br />
The Scenerio we played was French Infantry columns marching down a road, trying desperately to reach a small town whilst being harrassed by Cossacks.<br />
<br />
1: The advance Columns see the Cossack threat and send word back down the line. The French start to manouvere to protect themselves as best they can<br />

6: But unfortunately the square is a tough nut to crack and after several failed attempts to break it, the Cossacks decide they have done enough for the day and leave the field in search of Vodka.<br />
<br />
This was an interesting game to be involved in and also one that needed several pauses so we could look up at rules. but as a Cossack for the day, i would have to say that we won, though the French commanders would possibly disagree.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11345225800778081007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200672321657602078.post-80380219722113565252012-05-08T12:21:00.001-07:002012-05-08T12:21:06.342-07:00My VBCW CollectionThis is my army for VBCW wargames, Royalists fighting for King Edward VIII with some Fascists thrown in.

The opposing sides were Saxons and French lining up against my Brunswicks and Wurttembergs.<br />
<br />
This is the opening stages<br />
<br />
The battle lines are drawn.<br />

Outclassed by cavalry, the Brunswickers manovere to refuse the flank by using some artillery and infantry in squares and positioning their own cavalry to stop any attacks from the woods.<br />

<br />
It's 1801, Eygpt and the French are in dire straights, Napoleon has gone, the French re-inforcements cannot get past the Royal Navy and and allied army consisting of British (Honourable East India Company), Turks, Albanians and Marmeluke cavalry have joined forces and are marching on Cairo and with the news that 12,000 more British regulars have just landed, the French decide to act. They march out of Cairo and Alexandria and confront the allies head on. They reach the allied posistion and decide to dig in and wait for the allied attack.<br />

<br />
Its 1801 and Napoleons French army in Eygpt are on the retreat and are now facing an attack by a combined British and Turkish/ Albanian army. There will be 4 Shrewsbury Wargamers and 4 from Exmouth Wargames Club including one called Trainset?? not sure why.<br />
<br />
I've been selected to be C n C of the British/ Turks and Albanians, a man called Ali Pasha (The Wally of Eygpt) so if it all goes wrong then i'll blame my Generals for not following orders and probably chop their heads off and put them on poles, if it goes right then i'll take all the credit and my Generals heads will remain where they are unless i get bored and have an excess supply of poles.<br />
<br />
There should be plenty of piccys taken to post for peeps to view...

<br />
The battle of the farmhouse, where my brave posties had decided to fight to the death did not last as long as i had hoped... faced with overwhelming numbers (poetic license) they died quickly, after the socialists formed what looked like a firing squad next to the smoking remains of the postie transport and unleashed a devestating hail of bullets on the farmhouse.<br />

Probably not the end that those of you who have followed this would have wanted but with all players who took part complete duffers and not sure of rules then this was the likely outcome. But everyone who took part really enjoyed, so much so that they want to restart the battle next week and try and see if they have learned anything and i believe thats more important than getting a winner.

My Edward supporting Royal Mail Militia will be (hopefully) teaming up with Keith and Jez's BUF (British Union of Fascists) and taking on all comers - like Mike's and Chris's Socialist forces complete with a new top secret weapon(its all hush hush apparently) and Andy's Anglican League... as well as others, also rumoured to appear on the battlefield are some Welsh riff raff (Snowdon hillmen possibly) and even a party of ladies from the WI (armed to the teeth with rifles, umbrella's and cucumber sandwiches) tho i havent got a clue which side they will join.... Might be time to unleash the power of the Royal Mail Airplane.<br />

Should be a fun filled evening. Will take plenty of piccys and post them after Monday.
