Today I played my first game in Black Powder and first game in Bolter shop. We played three on three in scenario when main object is to secure and held monastery. As I don’t have too many painted Russians I used borrowed models plus my only painted battalion with command group. It was interesting game. I played with Damian (Portuguese) and Rafał (British) vs Adam (Vistula Legion), Marian and Mikołaj (French).

  • Column of British, Portuguese and one Russian batallion.
  • Napoleonic French.
  • Main target – monastery.
  • French march toward monastery and British.
  • Russian batallion advance toward crossroads with supporting unit of cavalry. Near church French charged on bayonnetes. In the middle – light infantry tried to spread Chaos on French right flank. Skirmishing units were chased from forest in heavy hand to hand combat.
  • Portugal brigade stopped and did not moved for some time.
  • Cavalry charged and French infantry formed into quadrangle .
  • Heavy fight on right flank (near monastery), on left flank French heavily outnumbered they enemies.
  • Hard Russian infantry stood they ground, despite being outnumberd.
  • Finally Portuguese moved, but it was too late to change battle.
  • The End. French won, by breaking two of three our brigades.

Summary:
– nice return to Napoleonic era. I guess it could be good idea to read about those times and units.
– game written by Rick Priestley and Jerwish Johnson cannot be bad and is really nice, a little bit different to games I know.
– shame on my, that my army is not painted with exception of commander, infantry batallion and two cannons. Need to finish some WFB and go back to Black Powder.
– hopefully it’s not last game. We played this game in Wrocław, Lower Silesia – there is group on Facebook – Wrocławscy Bonapartyści.
– my first game in Bolter, first game in Black Powder. List of nice places to play in Wrocław extended – as I like all time to play in Planszowka.pl (I returned to playing by ordering from them WFB/Bolt Action before AoS started) and in Aga and Ada, I hope to return to Bolter, at least to play and learn Black Powder.
